    Ingredients

    1/2 lb flank steak
    4 oz mung bean sprouts
    2 sprigs basil
    2 inch lemongrass
    3 shallots
    3 garlic cloves
    1 in piece of ginger
    1 lime
    1 pint beef stock
    4 oz flat rice noodles
    2 tsp red pepper flakes
    2 tsp ground anatto
    2 tbsp sesame oil
    3 tbsp fish sauce
    sambal oelek for serving

    Equipment

    stockpot
    fine grater
    serrated knife

    Preparation

    Finely slice the shallots.

    Finely dice the garlic.

    Coat the bottom of a stockpot with sesame oil and place on medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the anatto and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the spices have toasted, approx. 1 minute.
    Add the garlic and shallots. Sauté until the shallots have softened.
    Add 6 cups of water to the stockpot along with the beef stock concentrate, fish sauce, and lemongrass. Grate the ginger into the pot. Raise the heat to high.

    Once the broth begins to boil add the noodles and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 7 minutes.

    While the noodles cook, prepare the steak.

    Use a serrated knife to slice the flank steak into wafer thin pieces.

    Add the sliced flank to the broth. Once the meat has turned from bright red to brown, it's ready for plating.
    Remove the basil leaves from the stems. Quarter the lime.
    Place the bean sprouts at the bottom of the bowls. Ladle the broth, meat, and noodles into the bowl.Accent with the basil leaves. Serve with lime and sambal olek.
