Thread a while back got me thinking and I finally decided to make it. I used this recipe but, as usual, I changed it to fit my taste.

I found beef ribs for $2/lb. Used a total of six, separated, and roasted in a 400* oven for an hour. Put in an onion, halved, in for the last 30 minutes. Doubled the spices though. Roasted them in my skillet first. Doubled the ginger. Used about a 3" piece, sliced. No fish sauce or salt.
To get the beef sliced super thin, put it in the freezer until it's almost frozen. You can shave it paper thin with a sharp knife.
Came out pretty good. I did run it through a fat separator to clean up the broth first.
This sauce is great for it!
