VIETNAMESE SHAKING BEEF (BO LUC LAC)

Steps:

• Place the ingredients for the marinade into a bowl which will fit the beef later.
• Lighty mix the marinade together.
• Cut the beef into large cubes, roughly 2 cm or 1 inch in size.
• Add the beef cubes to the marinade and mix to combine.
• Leave the beef to marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Slice the onions.
• Finely chop the garlic.
• Wash and spin-dry the watercress leaves or salad leaves.
• Place the leaves onto a large plate or platter.
• Heat a large wok or non-stick frying pan with some vegetable oil on very-high heat.
• Cook the beef in batches, using tongs to turn them so that each side of the beef cubes can brown and caramelise. Or, if you are highly skilled, you can toss the beef by shaking the pan. This should take less than 1 minute per side. Try not to over-cook the meat, otherwise it will be tough and chewy. Due to the sugar content in the marinade, there will be a lot of splatter!
• Once all sides of the beef cubes are nicely caramelised, remove the meat to large plate.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, taking care to not burn the garlic.
• Return the meat to the pan, together with any juices which have collected on the plate.
• At this point, I like to add a generous grinding of freshly ground black pepper. But you can omit this step if you don't like spicy food or you are feeding children.
• Mix or toss everything together. A bit of sauce should start to form at the bottom of the pan.
• Place the cooked meat on top of the salad leaves, together with any pan juices. The heat from the meat will gently wilt the salad leaves.
• Serve immediately.

VIETNAMESE SHAKING BEEF (BO LUC LAC)

Steps:

• Dice the beef into 1 1/4 inch thick cubes. Marinate with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, plenty of black pepper. Set aside to come near to room temperature.
• Mix the cress with 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. Slice the tomato thinly. Arrange the cress salad and tomato slices on a serving plate.
• Thinly slice red onion. Cut scallions into 1 1/2 inch long pieces. Mince the garlic.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients to make the soy sauce mixture. Taste and adjust the sauce to your liking, set aside.
• Place a wok or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high to high heat. When the pan is hot, add oil and then add the beef cubes. Sear for 45 seconds to 1 minute until brown and then flip to the other side, sear for 45 seconds or until brown. Work in batches if needed.
• Add onion slices to the pan, stir-fry the beef and onion for about 30 seconds.
• Add the soy sauce mixture, shake the wok or stir to coat the beef with the sauce. Then add the butter and garlic, constantly stir and cook for a few seconds or until butter melts completely and everything is combined. This step should be done very quickly to avoid over-cooking the beef.
• Add the scallion pieces, quickly mix together and then transfer the beef to the serving plate on top of the cress and tomato.

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.
• Preheat a large wok or skillet over high heat, then add the vegetable oil. When the oil is shimmering, swirl the oil around in the pan. 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.
• Serve with domed white rice. For a full meal, serve alongside Vietnamese crepes, spring rolls, and banh mi sandwiches.

VIETNAMESE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, 4 cloves of garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef sirloin tip, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove the beef sirloin tip from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the beef. Cook and stir until the beef is evenly browned, and no longer pink. Place beef on a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Stir in 2 cloves of garlic, green onion, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in green beans, beef broth, lime juice, basil, mint, red pepper flakes and pepper. Return beef sirloin to skillet and toss to combine. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro.

SHAKING BEEF

Steps:

• Marinate meat with garlic, half the sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon oil for about 2 hours. (Refrigerate if your kitchen is very warm.) Meanwhile, combine vinegar, remaining sugar, wine, soy sauce and fish sauce. Taste, and add salt and pepper if necessary. Mix about 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Divide the meat into 2 portions, and do the same with the onion and scallions. Put a wok or a large skillet over maximum heat, and add about 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil smokes, add the meat in one layer. Let it sit until a brown crust forms, and turn to brown the other side. Browning should take less than 5 minutes. Add half the onion and half the scallions, and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add about half the vinegar mixture, and shake pan to release the beef, stirring if necessary. Add half the butter, and shake pan until butter melts. Remove meat, and repeat.
• Serve beef over watercress or lettuce leaves, passing salt and pepper mixture and lime wedges at the table.
