HOW TO MAKE IT

Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Sear the Beef



Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the thinly sliced beef in batches for 30-60 seconds per side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor. Remove beef and set aside.

In the same pot, add the beef broth, 1/4 cup Freakshow Savory Sauces Asian Teriyaki Sauce, fish sauce, grated ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Skim any foam from the surface.

Simmer the Broth

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup Freakshow Savory Sauces Asian Teriyaki Sauce (for broth)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 2 star aniset
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 lb fresh flat rice noodles (pho noodles), cooked according to package directions
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • For the Teriyaki Drizzle:
  • 1/4 cup Freakshow Savory Sauces Asian Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp sriracha (or to taste)


While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Arrange the bean sprouts, cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges on a platter for serving.

Prepare the Noodles and Toppings

Assemble the Bowls


To serve, divide the cooked rice noodles among four large bowls. Arrange the seared (or raw, very thinly sliced) beef over the noodles.

Ladle the hot, aromatic broth over the noodles and beef. The heat of the broth will gently cook the raw beef if you chose not to sear it.

Pour Broth

Make the Teriyaki Drizzle


In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Freakshow Savory Sauces Asian Teriyaki Sauce and sriracha.
