BO LUC LAC (VIETNAMESE SHAKING BEEF)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, 8 cloves of garlic, salt and black pepper to taste. Do not go crazy with the salt, as the soy sauce is already salty! Add the beef and let it marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat a large wok over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and, when simmering, add the remaining 2 cloves of garlic. Once fragrant, add the beef cubes, working in 2 to 3 batches if needed. Sear on all sides, shaking the pan, until medium rare, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the beef to a plate and reserve.
• Toss the onions in what's left of the marinade in the bowl. Add the onions to the wok and sauté until soft and beginning to brown. Add the beef (and its juices) back to the pan and toss with the onions.
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve over rice or salad.

Repeat the process with the remaining leaves and beef mixture.
• Depending on length of skewers, slide 3 to 5 beef rolls crosswise onto each skewer. Grill over a barbecue (make sure flames have subsided and coals are red, with white ashes) or on a well-oiled grill pan over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with Nuoc Cham sauce for dipping.
• Whisk together the sugar, water, fish sauce, and lime or lemon juice in a bowl, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the garlic, chile, and shallot if using, and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

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

Steps:

• Put beef cubes in a container with a lid. 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.

VIETNAMESE-STYLE BEEF STOCK

Steps:

• Place the oxtails, beef bones, salt and 14 cups cold water in a large stockpot. Set the pot over medium heat and bring slowly to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat a small cast-iron skillet over high heat. Place the ginger and onion, cut sides down, into the skillet and cook until charred black, about 3 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until they are charred on all sides. Remove from the skillet and add them to the stock.
• When the stock boils, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. After the stock has been simmering for 30 minutes and very little foam is collecting on the surface, add the star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves and sugar. Put the fennel seeds in a tea ball or tie them in cheesecloth and add them to the stock. Continue to simmer, skimming occasionally, for about 3 * more hours.
• Strain the stock, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Refrigerate until the fat solidifies on top of the stock, 3 to 4 hours. Remove the fat with a spoon and discard. The stock will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
