INSTRUCTIONS

PUT GINGER, SHALLOTS AND ONION on a baking sheet; place under a hot
broiler until charred. In a stock pot, bring the water, oxtails and
beef shank to a boil. Thoroughly skim and discard the scum from the
surface of the stock. Drop the charred ingredients, star anise,
cinnamon stick and cloves into pot, reduce to low heat; simmer for 2
hours. Remove the meat. Remove and shred the meat from the shank and
reserve. Return the bone to the simmering stock. Simmer 1 hour  longer.
When soup is done, remove and discard bones. Strain and  degrease
stock; add fish sauce and salt. Keep warm. In a separate  pot, bring 3
quarts water to a boil. Drain noodles and add to boiling  water; cook
for 1 minute. Drain in a colander. Divide noodles among 8  soup bowls
(about 1-to-2-cup-size bowls). Divide and top each bowl of  noodles
with shredded cooked beef, the raw sirloin steak slices,  onion slices
and bean sprouts. Ladle about 1 1/4 cups hot soup stock  (this will
cook the beef) to cover the noodles and beef, top with  fresh coriander
and green onions. Serve with squeeze of lime and  chiles.  From
