Ingredients

3 lbs beef bones (knuckle and marrow)
1 lb beef brisket
1 onion, halved and charred
4-inch ginger, halved and charred
3 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 lb fresh rice noodles (bánh phở)
6 oz eye of round, sliced paper-thin
1 tsp cannabis-infused oil per bowl
Bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, hoisin, sriracha

How to make it

1
Blanch bones in boiling water 5 minutes. Drain and rinse.
2
Char onion and ginger under the broiler until blackened.
3
Simmer bones, brisket, charred aromatics, star anise, cinnamon, and cloves in 4 quarts water for 3 hours.
4
Strain broth. Season with fish sauce and sugar to taste.
5
Cook rice noodles. Divide into bowls.
6
Lay raw beef slices over noodles. Pour boiling broth over — the heat cooks the beef.
7
Add cannabis oil to each bowl. Serve with herb plate.

Cooking tips

Char the aromatics deeply — this is where phở gets its soul.
Freeze the eye of round 30 minutes for paper-thin slicing.
Clear broth means careful skimming — never let it boil hard.
