Peanut Free Asian Pho-Style Beef Broth

Few bowls hit the soul quite like a deeply fragrant, slow-simmered beef broth, and this pho-style recipe delivers that restaurant-quality depth entirely from scratch. The magic starts with a classic blanching step to clean the bones, followed by broiling the onion and ginger until they're beautifully charred — that char is what gives the broth its signature smoky-sweet backbone. Ceylon cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, and coconut aminos layer in the warm, complex spice notes that make pho so irresistible, all without a single ingredient that raises cross-contamination concerns for nut-sensitive households. Instead of rice noodles, spiralized zucchini ribbons soak up the amber broth and keep things light while still giving you that satisfying slurp. The thinly sliced sirloin is gently cooked right in the bowl by ladling piping-hot broth over it, so every bite stays silky and tender. A finishing scatter of scallions, cilantro, and fresh basil brings brightness and color, with a squeeze of lime tying everything together. It's a showstopper of a weeknight project that tastes like it took far more effort than it did.
