Pho with Wagyu Beef

Broth: (if bone is needed)

3 to 4 pounds Wagyu Beef Soup Marrow Bones

The stock is made from beef shank, neck and/or ox tail. (I used homemade beef stock I already had on hand. See our recipes for Wagyu bone broth.)

• 6 Quarts water
• 1 Large yellow onion
• 4 oz Ginger (if your ginger is dried out it's great to use)

(Substitute allspice, cinnamon, mace, or nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger)

• 2 Pods star anise
• 1 Tablespoon salt
• 2 1/2 Fish sauce

INSTRUCTIONS (if you don't have homemade beef bone broth)

1. Wash beef bones under running water. Cleaning the bones will rid of all the impurities and ensure a clear broth.
2. In another large pot, add water (6 quarts) and bring to a boil. Add cleaned bones, roasted shallots, and ginger to the pot. Cook for 6-10 hours, semi-covered on a low simmer. Occasionally, use a ladle or mesh strainer to skim off the impurities that float to the top and discard.

On hand Wagyu Bone Broth

If you have bone broth already, use homemade Wagyu Bone Broth in replace of the bones and cook for two hours.

1. Two-pint jars of Wagyu Beef Marrow Broth (Remove fat cap from jar) (Do not add fat cap to broth)
2. 4 to 6 quarts water
3. 1 Large yellow onion
4. 4 oz Ginger or one dried ginger
5. 2 Pods star anise
6. 1 Tablespoon salt
7. 2 1/2 Fish Sauce
8. 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce
9. 1/4 Chile-Garlic Sauce (Sriracha)
10. 1 1/2 pounds of Wagyu beef (sliced eye-round beef steak, flank, brisket, beef balls, or beef tongue)

In a large pot, add homemade bone broth. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook for 2 hours, semi-covered on a low simmer. Occasionally, use a ladle or mesh strainer to skim off the impurities that float to the top and discard. I simmered the Pho 4-6 hours. This helps tenderize the meat. This will help especially if you are cooking with tongue.

Noodles:

1 (8 ounce) package Dried Rice Noodles

1. While the broth is simmering place rice noodles in a large bowl filled with room temperature water. Soak noodles for 1 hour. Drain.
2. Bring a larger pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles in the boiling water for minute. Drain.

Serve:

1. Add cooked noodles to a large serving bowl.
2. Pour Pho broth over noodles.
3. Top with Wagyu beef, Cilantro, and green onion.
4. Serve with bean sprouts, basil, lime wedges,
