### Instructions
1. **Brown the beef**
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. **Sauté aromatics**
In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened.
3. **Build the broth**
Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, star anise, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours, until beef is tender and flavors meld beautifully.
4. **Cook noodles**
About 10 minutes before serving, cook your noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. **Add veggies (optional)**
If using vegetables like bok choy or carrots, add them to the soup in the final 10 minutes of simmering so they remain crisp-tender.
6. **Assemble and serve**
Place a portion of noodles into bowls, ladle the hot beef and broth over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs, green onions, or chili oil for an extra kick.
