Instructions
Place the bones and stew meat in a large soup pot and add 10 cups (2.5 L) water.
Add half the sliced onions, the ginger, cinnamon, star anise, peppercorns, and salt.
Bring to a boil and turn the heat to a very low simmer.
Skim the foam from the surface and cook covered for 6 hours.
Soak the noodles in enough water to cover for 2 hours.
Drain and cook in enough boiling water to cover until just tender.
Do not overcook.
Drain well and set aside.
Blanche the bean sprouts by pouring boiling water over them in a colander.
Rinse under cold water and set aside.
To serve, divide the noodles among individual serving bowls.
Top the noodles with bean sprouts, sliced scallions, sliced onions, and the paper thin slices of beef.
Ladle the broth over the beef and noodles.
The heat from the broth is enough to cook the beef, which should be slightly pink.
Serve with lemon wedges, sliced chilies and nuoc cham..
