Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bones:

   • Soak beef bones with marrow overnight in cold water.

2. Initial Boil:

   • Place bones, oxtails, and flank steak in a large stockpot.
   • Add SALTED BOILING water to cover and bring to a boil.
   • Pro tip: Boil water first, add salt, then add bones for enhanced flavor.
   • Marinate oxtails and flank steak with fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper.
   • Cook for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse pot and bones.

3. Simmering Magic:

   • Return bones to the pot, add 6 quarts COLD WATER, and bring to a boil.
   • Skim the surface of scum and fat.
   • Stir the bones at the bottom.
   • After 1 hour of simmering, add oxtails and flank steak.

4. Aromatic Infusion:

   • Roast ginger, shallots, and onions until the outer layer is semi-burnt.
   • Roast anise seeds in a pan for 2 minutes and add them to the broth while waiting to boil.

5. Meat Preparation:

   • Slice beef sirloin against the grain into paper-thin slices (about 2-by-2 inches).
   • Do the same with the flank steak after it has cooked for about 1 hour.
   • Set aside. In a small bowl, combine scallions, cilantro, and half the sliced onions.

6. Noodle and Broth Harmony:

   • Place the remaining onions in another bowl and mix in hot chili sauce.
   • Soak rice noodles in water.
   • When the broth is ready, discard the bones.
   • Strain the broth through a colander lined with a double layer of damp cheesecloth into a clean pot.
   • Add fish sauce and bring to a boil.
   • Reduce heat to simmer.

7. Noodle Finale:

   • In another pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
