  • In a large pot, bring 7 cups of water to a boil. In another pot, boil the beef fillet with water.
  • Let the water with the meat boil for 5 minutes and using a spoon, transfer the meat from the first pot to the second.
  • Allow the water to boil in the first pot and constantly skim off the fat or meat residue from the surface.
  • Reduce to low heat; add ginger, onion, and sugar. Simmer for approximately 40 more minutes until the meat is very tender.
  • When the broth has been cooking for 1 hour and a half, place the star anise and clove in a spice bag (or a cheesecloth) and infuse the broth for 20 minutes. Remove the star anise and onion from the broth. Add salt and let it heat up.
  • Put 3 cups of water to boil and add the vermicelli for 10 minutes or until soft.
  • Serve the soup in large soup bowls, first placing the vermicelli and pouring 2-3 cups of the beef broth over them with some pieces of steak.
  • Season with yellow onion, green onion, and cilantro and serve.
