Quick beef pho
Beef second courses
Let me start by saying: this is not real pho. Real pho is a lengthy process that involves gently simmering beef bones, various cuts of meat, charred onions and other aromatics for hours to produce a clear and yet richly flavored and lightly spiced broth. If you've never had real pho, I highly recommend seeking out the nearest Vietnamese restaurant and diving into a bowl as soon as possible. Dare I say it is more satisfying than chicken soup? Those spices are everything. Remember that the next time you get a cold. Unfortunately, life is such that we don't always (or, er, ever?) have six extra hours to spend simmering beef bones to make our own broth from scratch. So, we have to cheat a little bit. Faux pho, if you will. Say it: foe fuh. Here we've used pre-made beef stock, which we then simmer with some of the same spices you find in traditional pho such as star anise, cinnamon, and cloves. A beautiful tender piece of beef, sliced every so thinly, is added at the very end and cooks in
