Vietnamese Beef Cubes Food

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.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for Shaking Beef Sauce and Marinade with the beef. Marinate for 30 minutes, preferably 1 to 2 hrs.
• Prepare the Vinaigrette by mixing the rice vinegar with salt and sugar. It should be a balance of sour, salty and sweet.
• Use 3 - 4 tablespoons of the Vinaigrette to pickle the red onions. Set aside and covered in fridge for about 10 minutes.
• Arrange the watercress and tomatoes on a serving platter and set aside.
• Heat a wok, pan or skillet over high heat. Add the cooking oil and when it begins to smoke, add the beef cubes in one even layer and allow to sear for about 2 minutes. Sear the opposite sides for about another 1-2 minute to brown all the sides. Shake and toss the wok while cooking.
• Transfer the beef to the serving platter. Drizzle the remaining 3 - 4 tablespoons of the Vinaigrette over the beef, watercress and tomatoes. Top the beef with the pickled red onions.
