   For the Giant Pho, place all of your noodles in 1 GIANT bowl (or split the noodles into several bowls). Top with sirloin, cilantro, and green onion. Pour hot broth over the top. Stir and let sit until the beef is partially cooked and no longer pink (1 to 2 minutes). Serve with bean sprouts, basil, lime wedges, hoisen sauce, and sriracha.
