Rinse the beef bones with water and a little salt. Blanch them in boiling water for about 5 minutes to remove any odor. Remove and rinse the bones with clean water.

Peel 1 onion, 3-4 shallots, and 1 piece of ginger. Cut the onion and ginger in half. Lightly char the onion, shallots, and ginger until fragrant. Toast the pho spice mix until aromatic.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then add the beef bones, charred onion, shallots, ginger, and toasted pho spices. Once the broth boils for 10 minutes, reduce to a simmer. Simmer the bones for 6-8 hours, adding more water if needed. You can also add chicken bones for extra sweetness.

After 6-8 hours, strain the broth to remove the bones, onion, ginger, and spices. Return the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Season to taste with fish sauce, rock sugar, salt, and a pinch of MSG if desired.

Thinly slice the tender beef, then lightly pound it to help it cook quickly and stay tender when the hot broth is poured over.
