Beef Flank!
Hmmm, sounds interesting.
No, it’s not rhyming slang — so what could it be!
To start, you’ll need to have made my Pho Bo to enjoy this one. Check the earlier posts on the blog for that recipe.
This was a completely unexpected bonus from creating Pho Bo. It ended up as an impromptu starter at a dinner party, just as the guests were getting hungry. Good job I realised this dish in time.
Flank with dip.
You basically take the flank steaks left over from the Pho broth, shred them into thin stringy strips with a couple of forks (like in the photo), and pile it onto a platter.
Serve it with your favourite dipping sauce.
And there you have it — a Vietnamese-style appetiser that ended up being the favourite for early arriving guests at Chez Kennett one night.
