Mien Bo Recipe

Bring large pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat. Add noodles to pot; let stand until tender and pliable, about 15 minutes. Drain. Using scissors, cut noodles into 2-inch lengths. Transfer to bowl.

Combine beef broth, sliced onions, sliced ginger, fish sauce, garlic, star anise and whole cloves into heavy, large, dutch oven and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer thirty minutes. Strain broth into large bowl; discard solids. Return beef broth to dutch oven and bring to boil. Remove beef broth from heat. Mix steak slices into broth (the hot broth will cook steak slices).

Place noodles, soup, sliced lettuce, sliced green onions and lemon wedges in center of table. Spoon noodles, steak slices and broth into large soup bowls, then top with generous amounts of sliced lettuce and green onions and squeeze in lemon juice.
