Ingredients

  • ~ 2 pounds beef chuck roast or beef cut of choice
  • 56 ounces beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 3 green onions - diced
  • 1 jalapeno - seeds removed diced
  • 1 cup cilantro - roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger - minced or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoons fresh garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil or 3 tablespoons fresh
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice blend- optional I have made this with and without Chinese five spice and both are good, the spice adds a little more authenticity but I think I like it a little better without it, so that is why it's optional
  • 4 ounces thin rice noodles - you can also use chow mien noodles for a less traditional pho.
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms - optional
  • Fresh cilantro to garnish - optional
  • lime slices to garnish - optional
  • sliced jalapeno to garnish - optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except rice noodles and garnishes and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes with quick release.

  • Add noodles and simmer for 5-6 minutes or according to noodle package directions.
  • Add garnishes and serve.
  • Enjoy!
