B\u00f2 kho is one of my favorite dishes to order when we go out to our favorite pho spot. There is nothing else like it, and it is so warming, comforting, and pretty much perfect. This recipe is as close as I can get to my favorite restaurant version, and I’m so excited to share my Smoked Vietnamese Beef Stew<\/strong> recipe with you here today! <\/p>\n

B\u00f2 Kho – Smoked Vietnamese Beef Stew<\/h2>\n

B\u00f2 kho is a beef stew from Southern Vietnam, built on a fragrant broth of lemongrass, star anise, and warm spices. “Kho” means to braise or simmer, and that’s exactly what happens here, low and slow, until the beef falls apart. <\/p>\n

Most b\u00f2 kho starts with a sear in a hot pot. My version starts on the smoker instead. <\/p>\n

I also changed things up a bit by using boneless short ribs instead of a typical chuck roast, which I found at Costco recently and needed to make something delicious with. Chuck roast would work just as well, as would a big beef shank. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The chuck short ribs pick up two hours of smoke before they ever hit the broth, adding a layer of flavor you won’t get from a stovetop-only version. <\/p>\n

This isn’t your grandmother’s bone-in short rib, either. Boneless chuck short ribs<\/strong> are a smaller, leaner cut from the chuck that braises down fast. <\/p>\n
