3 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed beef broth

1 Thai chile, chopped
1/2 pound boneless top round steak, sliced very thin

4 wedges lime
hot pepper sauce (optional)
oyster sauce (optional)

What to Drink?

DIRECTIONS

Soak noodles in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain. Bring water to a boil in large pot. Add noodles, and boil 3 to 5 minutes - don't overcook. Drain, and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, combine beef broth, ginger, salt, and Thai pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Place equal portions of noodles into 4 large soup bowls, and place raw beef on top. Ladle hot broth over noodles and beef. Garnish with lime wedges, basil leaves, cilantro, mung beans, and green onions, and serve with hot pepper sauce and oyster sauce.

FOOTNOTE

It's easier to slice the beef if it has been partially frozen beforehand.
