Quick Vietnamese-Inspired Pho with New York Strip Slices

Ingredients

For the Pho

1 Package SRF Black® NY Strip Slices
kosher salt
2 tablespoons SRF Beef Tallow
2 quarts Beef Bone Broth
1 (4-inch) hand of fresh ginger, halved lengthwise
1 medium yellow onion, quartered, peel removed
3 whole star anise pods
1 cinnamon stick2 whole cloves
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup fish sauce

Pho Toppings

prepared thin rice noodles
2 cups mixed herbs: Thai basil, mint, cilantro
2 scallions, chopped into 2-inch sections
2 cups bean sprouts
1 to 2 Thai chilies, Serrano, or jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 limes, cut into wedges
hoisin sauce
sriracha sauce

Directions

Prepare the Steak: Season the Wagyu New York Strip slices generously with kosher salt and set aside while you prepare the broth.
Build the Broth Base: In a large stockpot, heat SRF beef tallow over medium-high heat. Add the onion quarters and ginger halves, cut side down. Cook until deeply charred—about 5 minutes per side.
Add the Aromatics: Wrap the star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and coriander seeds in cheesecloth or a loose-leaf tea sachet for easy removal later. Add the beef bone broth to the pot along with the spice bundle, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.
Finalize the Broth: After simmering, remove and discard the spice sachet, onion, and ginger using a slotted spoon. Stir in the sugar and fish sauce, and taste for seasoning. Keep warm on low heat.
Prep the Bowls: While the broth simmers, cook and portion the rice noodles into four large serving bowls. Lay out prepared toppings for easy access.
Cook the Wagyu: Bring the broth back to a medium simmer, then gently add the NY Strip slices. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on thickness, just until the beef is tender and medium-rare. Immediately ladle the hot broth and beef over the noodles in each bowl.
Serve & Garnish: Top each bowl with herbs, scallions, bean sprouts, chiles, and a squeeze of lime. Serve with hoisin and sriracha on the side for guests to customize their bowls.
Pro Tip: For an added layer of richness, brush the Wagyu slices with tallow before simmering—or torch them lightly for a seared finish before adding to the broth.
