Instructions
Combine marinade ingredients and coat unsliced beef well. Refrigerate all day or over night.
Slice beef into very thin strips across the grain. Heat sesame oil in large skillet or wok. Sear quickly over medium-high heat until beef starts to brown, turn and sear other side. Remove beef from pan immediately to prevent over cooking and divide between 2 large individual serving bowls.
Rinse and cut ends off bok choy. Separate into individual leaves and add to serving bowls. Top with basil and cilantro.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Break off 2 servings of noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse. Divide between 2 serving bowls.
In a second pot heat Pho broth to a simmer. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired, depending on sodium level of broth. Ladle into bowls to almost cover contents.
Top with any or all of recommended additional ingredients. Serve hot and enjoy slurping up all the noodles with chopsticks.
Notes
You can thinly slice the beef and add marinade for a quicker version. Allow to marinate for 30-60 minutes before making Pho.
