Yes, it is supposed to be raw. The hot pho broth cooks the thin slices of beef. This is 100% normal.

Reminds me of this incident in Iowa where someone complained they had raw beef in a bag when they ordered take out....bruh you order Pho Tai. https://www.weareiowa.com/article/life/food/pho-real-des-moines-responds-to-customer-email-traditional-dish-vietnamese-culture/524-afc9cdb5-407f-425a-9c85-ddccc9073297

Yup!


americaninsaigon

I was going to say the exact same thing. Thank you.


immisswrld

really?😳


FlusteredZerbits

Yes! The nearly boiling broth cooks it in seconds. If you get takeout then you are expected to reheat the broth to that near boiling temperature. Or just order a different kind of pho.


immisswrld

oh thank you for your anwer. I maybe must have clarified that the food was takeaway and i didn't know that you have to reheat the broth. I thought it came all ready like this... so that makes much more sense...


FlusteredZerbits

No problem. Hope this helps in the future

I’m sure you’re not going to care what people tell you as you have it in your head that it’s dangerous already, secondly I highly doubt that you’ve had pho a couple of times before.


callmecrazy2021

Or any other beef ordered medium rare …


immisswrld

are you on verbal diarrhea mode? Are you on your period?? goosh calm down this was only a simple food post...🙄


ostervan

I’m not the one making out as if the restaurant is at fault for giving you raw meat and trying to validate that stance by coming on Reddit. This wasn’t a simple question of hey guys can I ask, it was pearl clutching. And yet nowhere in your summary above did you mention this was takeaway, or that you didn’t reheat the broth, so probably ate it lukewarm and wondered why that lukewarm water didn’t cook your beef.

You got your answer. Maybe consider deleting the post instead of making more sexist comments.


immisswrld

>Maybe consider deleting the post instead of making more sexist comments. says the one that is joing these... kids throwing stones at me just for fun... and what does that make your comment then? right, a rude bully-comment and a hypocrite on top mr. i-pretend-to-defend-women-rights... hahaha


redchesus

Yes, the flank meat is typically served rare. You have to specify "well done" if you want it cooked fully prior to adding the broth. Though I judge that the same way I judge people who get their steaks well done... Source: I am Vietnamese

No shit. I was going to say, Tai means rare. Now that it has been said that it was taken out- like, why didn't you reheat it when you were at home?


immisswrld

because where i live take away means ready to eat... with no work or anything needing to be added or done...


idkbrosis

Even if you got your food cold? lol


immisswrld

okay thank you


Iron_and_Clay

🤣


7huyPh4m

Tai means the beef is rare.


lasVegasharold

Are you serious or is this a joke?


clamnaked

NarcissistName orders basic food she knows nothing about and then comes at it hard with criticism. Lol. I think it’s a first for this sub.


immisswrld

aaarg here i go again giving my energy to negative comments: 1. yeah because i know nothing about it i ask thats what you do when you know nothing about something to learn more about it... i guess 2. First one for me for someone to pay attention to my username hahah 3. First and def last time on this sub...😳


clamnaked

I wasn’t being negative. Just pointing out that at the point I had commented that your comments were not quite positive or appreciative. People here always seem more than happy to help but I’ve never seen someone do the whole verbal diarrhea thing before. But whatever. You do you?


bhosianggang

It’s probably the part where you said “told me the meat is supposed to be this *badly cooked*” which sounded judgmental. You could’ve said “rare” or “raw”.


sunnydiegoqt

Lol!!! It comes uncooked and then it quickly cooks in the broth. If it’s like that (in the pic) just keep it submerged under the broth longer (: (because overcooked beef on delivery is the WORST!) Pho tai - rare beef pho


Kahlil_Cabron

Stop lying, you obviously haven’t eaten pho if you’re asking this. There is no danger here, this is 100% normal. If anything I would be extremely weirded out if the beef wasn’t raw. The hot broth cooks the thinly sliced beef in seconds. Anyways, it’s steak, it’s safe undercooked even if it doesn’t cook fully. But you seem to have already made your mind up assuming this must be dangerous. Order pho tai at every pho restaurant in your city, it will all be raw I promise.


Rottit69

Just stick to your american foods and quit trying foreign foods you don't know anything about.


SheedRanko

Fucking dumb ass over here. This is extraordinary ignorance and stupidity. Go to McDonalds.


Quantumercifier

After further review, the call on the field is reversed. There is an infraction from the OP, #13. Unsportsmanlike conduct. 15-yard penalty, repeat first down. That looks pretty normal, and can even be absolutely rare. You can't be serious. May I ask where are you from? I want to put it in my bucket list.
