Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F
   
2. Roast beef bones on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until brown (1 hour)
   
3. Roast onions on baking sheet in the preheated oven until blackened and soft (45 minutes)
   
4. Place bones, onion, ginger, salt, star anise, and fish sauce in a large stockpot and cover with 4 quarts of water. Bring to boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer on low for 9+ hours. Strain the broth into a saucepan and set aside.
   
5. Place noodles in a large bowl and fill with room temperature water and allow to soak. Read the directions on your rice noodle package. Soaking time varies per brand.
   
6. Bring a large pot of water to boil and after the noodles have soaked, place them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Bring stock to a simmer.
   
7. For the Giant Pho, place all of your noodles in 1 GIANT bowl (or split the noodles into several bowls). Top with sirloin, cilantro, and green onion. Pour hot broth over the top. Stir and let sit until the beef is partially cooked and no longer pink (1 to 2 minutes). Serve with bean sprouts, basil, lime wedges, hoisen sauce, and sriracha.
