Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the beef broth by boiling beef bones in a large pot of water for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the bones to remove any impurities.
Step 2: In the same pot, add the bones, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves. Fill the pot with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for at least 4 hours, skimming off any impurities that rise to the surface.
Step 3: While the broth is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 4: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the beef slices for about 1-2 minutes until they are cooked to desired doneness. Drain and set aside.
Step 5: Once the broth is ready, strain it to remove the bones and spices. Season with salt and fish sauce to taste.
Step 6: To serve, divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls. Top with beef slices and ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Serve with lime wedges, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and chili peppers on the side.
