  2. 1/2pineapple
  3. 1 1/2large onions
  4. 10shallots
  5. 10 stalkslemongrass
  6. 3 tablespoonsHuế shrimp paste
  7. 1 tablespoonchili powder + 1 teaspoon fine Huế chili powder
  8. 2 tablespoonscooking oil

  10. Garnish: onion, green onions, Vietnamese coriander
  11. Accompaniments: lettuce, julienned water spinach, bean sprouts, assorted herbs
  12. Fresh rice noodles, thick or thin as preferred

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak and clean the beef with salt and vinegar, then blanch it in boiling water with a little white wine. Remove the beef, rinse it with water to clean off any scum, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Add 2 liters (about 8 1/2 cups) of water to a pot with the beef, pineapple, 1 onion, crushed shallots, and 1/2 tablespoon salt. Simmer the beef over medium heat until the tendons are tender, then remove the beef and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add more water to compensate for evaporation during simmering, then add crushed lemongrass stalks and shrimp paste. When the broth boils again, season to taste (the shrimp paste is boiled with 1 2/3 cups (400ml) of water and cooled, which enhances its flavor). Once the broth is flavorful, reduce to the lowest heat, and add the chili powder and oil mixture or annatto oil if you prefer less spice.

  4. 4

    Chop the garnish. Stir-fry the chili. Prepare the accompaniments.

  5. 5

    Blanch the rice noodles in boiling water, then place them in a bowl. Top with beef and garnish, then ladle the broth over. Serve with stir-fried chili and fresh herbs. The beef tendon is tender and delicious.

  6. 6

    Note: If you want the shrimp paste to be less pungent, dissolve it in a bowl of cold water, then use only the clear liquid.
