Critical Success Points

  • Roasting and washing bones for a clean, rich broth
  • Maintaining a bare simmer for broth clarity
  • Blooming spices in beef tallow for maximum flavor extraction
  • Steeping spices and aromatics for exactly 3 hours (peak extraction)
  • Final seasoning adjustment with fish sauce and sugar
  • Slicing rare beef very thinly and pouring hot broth over to cook

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when handling large volumes of boiling liquid.
  • Sharp knives required for thin meat slicing; use cut-resistant gloves if inexperienced.
  • Hot fat can splatter when blooming spices; use a splatter guard.
  • Cool broth rapidly to avoid bacterial growth.
