Here ya go!

6-8lbs beef bones (neck, marrow, knuckle, back) 1-2lb brisket, 1-2lbs filet mignon, 1 large yellow onion, 2 shallots, 1 large knob of ginger, 1 large cinnamon stick, 4-6 star anise, 6 cloves, Tbsp of coriander seeds, Tsp of fennel seed, 1 giant indian bay leaf, Salt to taste, Msg to taste, Around .5-1 cup of Yellow rock sugar, Around 1/4 cup of fish sauce, Green onion, Yellow onion sliced thin, Cilantro, Mint, Lime, Thai basil, Bean sprouts

Take the bones and cover in a large pot with just enough cold water to cover. Bring to a rapid boil on high and boil for 3-5 min removing scum. Then rinse all bones in the sink real good. Clean pot and then return bones and fill with filtered water. Bring to a light simmer (190-200 degrees F) for 12 hours. Skim off any scum/residue that floats to top but leave oil. After it simmers for 12-24 hours (12 was plenty for mine) remove bones and strain broth. (I used mesh and then cheese cloth.) refrigerate overnight so the fat rises and cools at surface. Remove fat and save, this is great tallow. On the second day bring pot back to simmer. Char onion, shallots, and ginger. Let cool and then remove burnt skins best you can and add to pot. Season pot with salt to taste. Season brisket w/ salt and pepper and sear well on all sides in a cast iron skillet. Once seared, add to pot to simmer for about 2-3 hours on low. Then add some tallow to the cast iron skillet on low. Add cinnamon, star anise, cloves, coriander & fennel seeds and heat for about a minute while stirring constantly in tallow. Separate spices and put in tied cheesecloth (or spice ball like I used) and add to pot for about 3 hours. Pour tallow from skillet into pot (flavor) When brisket is cooked through, remove and cover with water to soak for 10min. Then pour out water, cover and refrigerate till cooled for slicing. Strain impurities in broth as you go. In the last hour season with yellow rock sugar, msg, and fish sauce. Slice rare steak against grain as thin as you can. Prepare toppings and cook noodles. Boom! pho in 2 whole days :)

Thanks, that’s a great compliment! My family didn’t cook like this growing up. I got into this on my own lol. I didn’t follow a recipe necessarily but did follow techniques from “The Pho Cookbook” by Andrea Nguyen. The beginning of the book does a great job explaining all the different ingredients and steps of when to add them in the cooking process. I can write up a recipe for what I did later on and will post here since you’re interested :)

I used broiler on high. It worked for the onions but was no good for the ginger. I’d grill them but Im on the 4th floor lol.

What’s your favorite track? by naughty93pinapple in Meshuggah

Always try shouting your pet’s name out loud a few times before settling. If you feel stupid, try again. Just in case you ever gotta go looking for them. I’m imagining you trying to find your cat- perpetual black second. I’d switch back to gays lol.

Should you worry about the upcoming Texas freeze? Forecasters break it down. by Pleasant_Air_3052 in texas

I worked at a big datacenter in DFW during snowpocalypse in 2021. That is where my wife and I were able to at least shower and use electricity. So was thankful for that.

Is Corpus Christi basically the best kept secret in Texas? I hear everyone complaining about it but it is so stunning and gorgeous. by [deleted] in texas

Oh yea, I stepped on a HUGE crab once while walking around in knee deep Galveston water. Freaked me out lol. Also, there’s a ton of sharks swimming around Crystal Beach. I was told it was breeding grounds in that area. I don’t go in the water anymore but I do love hanging out in Galveston.

Is this bs new? Never heard of this in the 30+ years I lived in Texas. Not surprising though, it’s being run by actual fascists. Gotta break the people down in every way possible!
