Bò LúC LắC (VIETNAMESE SHAKING BEEF) WITH TOMATO RICE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and beef except for the cornstarch in a bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour.
• While this marinates, wash and prep all the veggies.
• Before cooking, transfer the beef to another plate to remove excess liquid and to come to room temp for about an hour.
• Coat each piece of beef in cornstarch. Heat a pan on medium high or high, then brown the meat on all sides in about 2-4 batches depending on the size of your pan.
• Once you have cooked all your beef, add them into a pan with the vegetables over medium-low heat, and stir for about 2 minutes.
• Plate the veggies and beef. Add some Maggi to salt to taste.
• Prepare and cook 1 c of rice as you would normally. I like to use a rice cooker and follow the instructions.
• In a large pan over medium heat, add oil and garlic until fragrant and brown. Stir the garlic so it doesn't burn.
• Add the rice and stir thoroughly to coat with the garlic.
• Add the tomato paste and continue to stir to incorporate the red coloring evenly throughout the rice.
• Add a few splashes of fish sauce and taste the rice. I would start with two dashes and build from there, you don't want to add too much saltiness since this will be eaten with the beef.
• Wash and prep all vegetables.
• Put 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the onions and bell peppers. Saute for about 2 minutes until the onions turn slightly translucent, but not too soft.
• Add green onions last to prevent them from wilting, stir to mix.
• Remove the vegetables and place aside in a bowl. You will be mixing these again with the beef.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper. Toss to combine. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

• On a platter, arrange the watercress and tomato slices.

Add half of the beef cubes and sear on all sides, shaking the pan, until the meat is slightly charred and medium rare, 3-5 minutes. Set the meat aside and repeat with remaining beef.
• Arrange the beef on the bed of watercress and tomatoes. Top with the dressed red onions and fresh cilantro.
