Method
1. Put the rice noodles into a large bowl, cover with lots of boiling water and leave to soak according to packet instructions.2. For the broth: put the beef stock cube into a large saucepan and cover with 1 litre boiling water. Add the marrow bones and the shin of beef.
3. Add the spices and ginger to the broth pan and simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
4. Meanwhile put the mint and coriander leaves, chilli, lime wedges and some fish sauce into separate small bowls so people can help themselves to each later.
5. Divide the rice noodles among 6 serving bowls.
6. Bring the broth back to a vigorous simmer. Take a large soup ladle and lay a quarter of the fillet steak slices over the sides of the ladle. Dip the ladle into the boiling stock so the meat is covered and leave for 5-10 seconds, or until the beef has changed to pale pink. Pour into one of the bowls and top up with extra broth to cover the noodles.
7. Repeat the cooking of the steak for each of the bowls. Serve immediately with the small bowls of herbs, chilli and spring onions on the side for scattering over and the bowls of lime and fish sauce for seasoning.

I used my own beef stock for this and found it gorgeous. It also meant I didn't have to mess about with marrowbones and shin. I don't think I'd even bother with a thin "stock" from a cube...
This recipe is all wrong. Making Pho is a longer process, and so many vital steps are left out.
As this is traditionally a beef dish I think it is wrong to try and sell Chicken as the taditional vietnamese breakfast.. other than that he uses the wrong noodles.. very basic errors
