Preheat a cast iron pan (or black steel pan) over high heat until very hot.

Place charred ginger, shallot, and spices into a 2 quart pot. Cover with Brodo beef broth and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, then stir in juice of one lime and fish sauce.

Gather all garnishes onto a plate.
-
Put your veggie noodles into another pot and strain your broth over the noodles.
-
Simmer until noodles are tender to your; time will vary depending on the veggie you choose. Check for tenderness every few minutes until the noodles are cooked to your liking.
-
Assemble your bowls. Divide the sliced beef and the noodles evenly between two bowls.

Bring the broth to a boil and pour half into each bowl (very hot broth is critical, as this will cook the sliced beef)
-
Garnish with as much or as little of the garnishes as you like.
