• To make the beef slices tender, freeze them for about 30 minutes before slicing thinly.
• Feel free to customize your pho by adding other toppings like sliced onions, jalapenos, or Thai bird chilies.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pho can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• When reheating, bring the broth to a simmer and add fresh herbs and toppings just before serving.
