Directions

1

Prepare rice noodles according to package directions. Be sure to drain and rinse them with cold water after they're cooked to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
2

For the soup, place beef stock, onion, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, ginger, pepper, and five spice powder in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
3

Slice your steaks as thinly as possible across the grain.
4

Divide noodles, bean sprouts, and sliced steak evenly between four bowls.
5

Pour about 2 cups of the boiling broth over each bowl. Let sit for one minute to cook the beef.
6

Allow your guests to dress their soup to their liking, adding Sriracha and jalapeno for heat, lime for a little zest, and cilantro and mint for a fresh finish.
