- 6 cups beef broth
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- ½ pound sirloin steak
- 1 medium yellow onion
- ½ cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- 1
Bring 6 cups beef broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 sliced onion and simmer over medium heat until fragrant, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Meanwhile, cook 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender but chewy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
- 3
Place the sirloin in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up, then slice it as thinly as possible against the grain.
- 4
Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Top with the raw beef slices, arranging them in a single layer so they cook evenly.
- 5
Ladle the hot broth over the beef and noodles, ensuring the beef is submerged. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until the beef turns pink to brown.

Top each bowl with bean sprouts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and chili sauce if desired.
