Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate beef in 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, garlic, and black pepper for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make nuoc cham: combine remaining fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, water, garlic, and chili. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a wok over very high heat until smoking. Sear beef in a single layer without stirring for 1 minute until caramelized. Flip and cook 30 seconds more. Remove and rest.

  4. 4

    Arrange cooled noodles in bowls. Add lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, and herbs as layers. Top with seared beef slices.

  5. 5

    Pour a generous amount of nuoc cham over everything — about 4 tablespoons per bowl. Scatter peanuts and fried shallots. Toss everything together before eating. Unlike pho, this dish is eaten dry (no broth) but dressed with nuoc cham that soaks into the noodles.
