Vietnamese-style beef stock, known as "nước dùng bò", is a flavorful and aromatic broth that forms the base of many popular Vietnamese dishes such as phở, bún bò Huế, and bánh canh. This hearty and savory stock is made by simmering beef bones and various spices for several hours, resulting in a rich and complex broth that captures the essence of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting to explore the world of Vietnamese cooking, mastering the art of making beef stock is a crucial step in creating authentic and delicious Vietnamese dishes.

VIETNAMESE BEEF PHO
This soup is served with a plate full of fresh garnishes as well as various sauces. This allows each person to season their serving to taste. The soup is somewhat unusual, because the meat is cooked in the bowl. The beef is sliced very thin, almost thin enough to see through. You might want to have the butcher slice it for you. The boiling hot broth is poured over the noodles and raw meat. The meat is quickly cooked in the hot broth in the time it takes to garnish the soup.

Steps:
- Place the beef bones in a large stock pot, then add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm). Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 minutes to blanch the bones and remove any impurities.
- Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the broiler.
- Drain the bones in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Return the blanched bones to the stockpot.
- Meanwhile, arrange the ginger, garlic, and onions cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high until the aromatics are deeply charred in spots, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add to the stockpot with the bones.
- Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and star anise in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the spices are darkened in spots and extremely fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the toasted spices to the stockpot.
- Season the brisket liberally with salt and add it to the stockpot.
- Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover everything by 1 inch (2 cm). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer, skimming off and discarding any fat that floats to the top as needed, until the brisket is fork-tender, 2-3 hours.
- Using tongs, transfer the brisket to a plate and let cool completely. Refrigerate the brisket until ready to serve.
- Continue to simmer the broth to get as much flavor out of the bones as possible, 3-4 hours more.
- Using tongs, remove and discard the bones and aromatics. Slowly strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer set over a large pot. Skim and discard the fat from the broth, then stir in the fish sauce. Taste and add more as desired.
- Thinly slice the brisket. Very thinly slice the raw sirloin steak against the grain.
- Divide the noodles among 6-8 large bowls, then top with the brisket and raw steak. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and meat and serve immediately with the bean sprouts, onion, jalapeño, Thai basil, lime wedges, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha alongside.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the oxtails, beef bones, salt and 14 cups cold water in a large stockpot. Set the pot over medium heat and bring slowly to a boil.
- Meanwhile, heat a small cast-iron skillet over high heat. Place the ginger and onion, cut sides down, into the skillet and cook until charred black, about 3 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until they are charred on all sides. Remove from the skillet and add them to the stock.
- When the stock boils, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. After the stock has been simmering for 30 minutes and very little foam is collecting on the surface, add the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves and sugar. Put the fennel seeds in a tea ball or tie them in cheesecloth and add them to the stock. Continue to simmer, skimming occasionally, for about 3 * more hours.
- Strain the stock, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Refrigerate until the fat solidifies on top of the stock, 3 to 4 hours. Remove the fat with a spoon and discard. The stock will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Place the beef knuckle in a very large (9 quart or more) pot. Season with salt, and fill pot with 2 gallons of water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 2 hours.
- Skim fat from the surface of the soup, and add the oxtail, radish and onions. Tie the anise pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns and ginger in a cheesecloth or place in a spice bag; add to the soup. Stir in sugar, salt and fish sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for at least 4 more hours (the longer, the better). At the end of cooking, taste, and add salt as needed. Strain broth, and return to the pot to keep at a simmer. Discard spices and bones. Reserve meat from the beef knuckle for other uses if desired.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Soak the rice noodles in water for about 20 minutes, then cook in boiling water until soft, but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Slice the frozen beef paper thin. The meat must be thin enough to cook instantly.
- Place some noodles into each bowl, and top with a few raw beef slices. Ladle boiling broth over the beef and noodles in the bowl. Serve with hoisin sauce and Sriracha sauce on the side. Set onion, cilantro, bean sprouts, basil, green onions, and lime out at the table for individuals to add toppings to their liking.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef bones: Look for marrow bones, oxtail bones, or a combination of both. These bones are rich in collagen and will give your stock a deep flavor and body. You can also use beef shanks or chuck roast, but these cuts will take longer to cook.
- Roast the bones before simmering: Roasting the bones in the oven before simmering them in water will help to develop their flavor and color. This step is optional, but it will definitely improve the quality of your stock.
- Use a variety of aromatics: In addition to the beef bones, you can add a variety of aromatics to your stock to enhance its flavor. Common aromatics include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, and bay leaves. You can also add herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
- Simmer the stock for a long time: The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavor it will develop. Aim to simmer the stock for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours for a richer flavor.
- Strain the stock carefully: Once the stock has finished simmering, strain it carefully through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any impurities. You can also skim off any excess fat from the surface of the stock.
Conclusion:
Vietnamese-style beef stock is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and depth to soups, stews, and sauces. With a little effort, you can easily make your own Vietnamese-style beef stock at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to end up with a delicious and flavorful stock that you can enjoy in all your favorite dishes.
