Can I Eat Raw Beef in Pho?
I know what you’re probably thinking. But I assure you it is actually pretty normal in a lot of cuisines to serve raw beef. In this dish – and most pho – the hot broth is poured over top of the beef to cook it. The trick is to slice the beef super thin so that it cooks quickly in the hot soup!
