Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add the beef bones and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 2-3 hours to extract flavor. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface. Add lemongrass, shallots, garlic, shrimp paste, fish sauce, and annatto seeds to the pot. Continue simmering for another hour.
  2. While the broth is simmering, blanch the thinly sliced beef brisket in boiling water for a few minutes to remove impurities. Add the blanched beef to the simmering broth and cook until tender, about 30-45 minutes.
  3. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  4. Divide the cooked noodles between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with slices of cooked beef brisket. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and beef.
  5. Garnish each bowl with fresh herbs, lime wedges, and chili peppers to taste. Serve hot with bean sprouts and sliced banana blossoms on the side, if desired.
