Elk Pho

[jryoung]

Made this on New Year's day.

Basic elk/boar broth from existing jars and added some additional browned meat and let it gurgle for about 24 hours. To finish I added lots of coriander seed, star anise and a couple of pods of cardamon, soy and fish sauce.
For the meat I hot smoked (225) the sirloin tip roast to 125, the reverse seared in cast iron in the oven until 135. I let rest fully, then refrigerated over night. Since San Jose has the largest population of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam, we have awesome markets loaded with typical herbs you'd see in SE Asia.

Looks delicious! For any CO residents looking to duplicate Pacific Ocean Marketplace in Aurora has everything you need, that place is amazing.

H Mart is pretty good as well. Pho & ramen is about all I miss about the front range.

I pretty much refuse to eat anywhere in the metro area other than Havana street.
