Recipe: Grilled Vietnamese beef vermicelli bowl

Grilled Vietnamese Beef Vermicelli Bowl, or Bún Bò Xào, is everyone’s favourite Vietnamese noodle salad…at home! Perfectly marinated, then grilled Vietnamese beef is a delicious topping to fresh vegetables and vermicelli noodles. 

While it may seem like there are a lot of ingredients in this dish, each component has a role to play in the overall flavour explosion.

Grilling the marinated meat is very quick while slicing the carrots may take just a bit longer. Once you have all the components ready to go, it’s very easy to assemble each bowl. 

Vietnamese food is so fresh and delicious, from perfectly marinated Lemongrass Grilled Pork Chops to Fresh Shrimp Salad Rolls, I love it all!
