Beef Chunk Steak With Lime Pepper Sauce Bo Luc Lac Recipes

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.

• Whisk vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt together in a bowl until vinaigrette is smooth; add onion. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to pickle the onion.
• Whisk lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until dipping sauce is smooth. Transfer dipping sauce to ramekins.
• Heat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until oil starts to smoke; add beef. Cook in a single layer until beef is seared, about 2 minutes. Cook and stir (or "shake") until beef reaches desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Spread watercress onto a serving plate and top with tomatoes. Drizzle vinaigrette over tomatoes and layer beef onto watercress; top with onion. Serve dipping sauce on the side.

ASIAN GARLIC BEEF CUBES (VIETNAMESE BO LUC LAC OR SHAKING BEEF)

Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, wine, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until marinade is well mixed; pour over beef. Allow beef to marinate, 10 to 30 minutes.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon fish sauce, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon black pepper together in a bowl until dipping sauce is well mixed.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat; add beef and marinade. Cook and stir beef mixture, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, and 4 cloves minced garlic together in hot oil until beef is cooked through and sauce begins to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes. Adding garlic over several times during cooking will produce a better mix of flavors.
• Serve beef alongside dipping sauce.

BEEF CHUNK STEAK WITH LIME-PEPPER SAUCE (BO LUC LAC)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, sesame oil and soy sauce and stir until the sugar dissolves. Toss in the beef. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Make the lime-pepper dipping sauce by combining the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sugar, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Taste and add more water if the sauce is too tart. Set aside.
• Prepare a serving plate by covering it with a generous layer of leaf lettuce, onions and tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with salt.
• Heat the oil in a wok on over high heat until the oil smokes slightly. Add the butter, and stir just until the butter melts. Add the beef, and stir in a circular motion. Simultaneously use the back of a metal spatula to press the meat against the sides of the wok to char. Cook until the meat is browned but still lightly pink in the middle, about 7 minutes. (Avoid having the meat simply boil in the liquid fat.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the prepared serving plate. Serve immediately with the lime-pepper dipping sauce.
