+  </TabItem>
+
+  <TabItem value="instructions" label="Instructions">
+    1. In a large pot, add **beef bones** and **brisket**. Make sure to cut the brisket in half prior to this. Cover with water and bring to a boil and boil for **5 minutes**. Skim any scum off the top. 
+    2. Simultaneously, char the **onion** and **ginger** over medium flame. Rinse away the blackened skin.
+    3. Also, toast **star anise**, **cinnamon stick**, **cloves**, **cardimom pods**, **coriander seeds**, and **fennel seeds** over medium heat in a saucepan for **3 minutes**.
+    4. Add charred and toasted items to the pot. Add **scallions**, **fish sauce**, and **sugar**. Boil for **40 minutes** over **low heat**. Continue to skim the scum.
+    5. Remove one piece of the **brisket** and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and refridgerate it.
+    6. Cover the pot and continue simmering on low heat for **4 hours**. Add salt, skimming as necessary until ready to serve. Finish the sauce by adding fish sauce, sugar, or salt as necessary.
+    7. Boil the **noodles** according to package and add to a bowl. Place slices of brisket, and thinly sliced uncooked **sirloin** or other toppings. Squeeze fresh **lime** on top, and add **bean sprouts** and **basil** as desired. Serve with hoisin sauce and Sriracha on the side.

+    <Admonition type="info" title="Serving Suggestions">
+      <p>
+        Pho is traditionally served piping hot with plenty of fresh herbs and condiments. The key is the balance of rich broth, tender meat, and fresh garnishes.
