Description

Directions

• Start by marinating steak with 1/2 tbsp red curry paste combined with olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot with fitted lid on med-high heat. Saute onion, garlic and ginger for 5 min, until fragrant and softened.
• Add other 1/2 tbsp of red curry paste, sauté for 2 min. Add broth and water, bringing to a boil. Add lemon and lime juices, soy sauce, chili paste, and fish sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes with lid on. During this time, garnishes can be chopped and prepared.
• After preparing garnishes and placing in small bowls so guests can self-serve, heat remaining oil over high heat until oil starts to smoke. Cook steak for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until cooked rare to medium-rare (it will cook more in the hot soup).
• Bring soup back to a boil, and add rice noodles, cooking for 3-5 min. If possible, remove noodles from the broth to prevent them from soaking it all up.
• Serve pho in large bowls with noodles and broth, garnishing with chopped vegetables as desired.
• Add extra hot sauce if youre brave!
