What do I need to make pho at home?
In Serious Eats, the author provides some insight on how to do this:


  The process was easy: onions browned and then removed, meat and water
  added and boiled, then the rest of the aromatics go in, skimmed
  occasionally and simmered for six hours. By the time the broth was
  finished it was incredibly phở-like—the cinnamon and anise came
  through beautifully and the stock was insanely meaty.
  
  The next day I took off the layer of fat and set about assembling the
  rest of the phở ingredients. I got my hands on lovely basil, bean
  sprouts, and some shabu-shabu beef.

  Pho Secrets?
  
  Roasting the bones. 
  I've tried this and have not found that it's done
  much to the broth aside from making the broth dark, something that
  I've not found to be attractive. If you start with good bones, there's
  no need to roast, as the French would do for a veal stock, or
  demi-glace...

If you're looking for more resources loving pho has a great article about pho:


  There is no single perfect technique for creating good pho broth. The
  Vietnamese always say that the best pho you will ever taste is the one
  cooked by your own mother (plus maybe one or two favorite
  restaurants), and she will have her own ideas of how good pho broth is
  made. These ideas, in turn, are ones that have been handed down to her
  by her own mother. Thus, no two bowls of pho made in two separate
  kitchens will ever taste the same.
