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:

Sear on all sides, shaking the pan, until medium rare, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the beef to a plate and reserve.

SHAKING BEEF - VIETNAMESE THIT BO LUC LAC

Steps:

• Prepare your greens, red onion and tomatoes. Set aside.
• Combine the all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. You will be deglazing your pan with this sauce.
• Pre-heat a heavy frying pan that will hold the steaks in a single layer over medium to medium high heat. Add the oil. Right before you start frying the steaks, season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Turn on your ventilation fan. This is going to smoke.
• Place the beef in the pan and fry around 3-4 minutes. You want a nice crust on the beef. This should get you to about medium rare. Depends on how thick your steaks are and how hot your pan is. I can't be more precise because I just don't know your specific details.
• Flip the steak and cook it another 3 minutes. Remove and let rest around 10 minutes. Check your internal temperature. 125F is rare. 130 is medium rare. Remove the pan from the heat.
• After the steak has rested for 10 minutes cut the beef into big bite size chunks.
• Return the pan to medium low heat. Keep an eye on it. You don't want your fond to burn. Once it is heated add the garlic and cook around 30 seconds.
• Turn the heat up and deglaze the pan with the sauce. Scrape up all that delicious brown gold and stir to get it to dissolve into the sauce.
• As soon as you have finished deglazing the pan turn down the heat to low. Taste it. Now start adding the rice wine vinegar. You are looking for a nice balance of acid and savoury. Creep up on it.
• When you get to the point you are happy with your sauce (now your vinaigrette really) return the beef to the pan. Heat through gently. You don't want it to cook more. Just warm it up.
• To serve spread your greens out on a plate. Top with onions and tomatoes. Drizzle with a bit of vegetable oil. Spoon the beef onto this mixture and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with lime wedges. Plate individually or as a communal appetizer.
