Shaking Beef Bo Luc Lac is a traditional Vietnamese dish featuring tender beef cubes marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, sugar, and savory sauces, then quickly seared to perfection. It's served with vibrant vegetables and is perfect for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 1 lb beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tbsp sugar. 1 tbsp oyster sauce. 1 tbsp soy sauce. 1 tbsp fish sauce. 1/2 tsp black pepper. 2 tbsp vegetable oil. 1 red onion, cut into wedges. 1 bunch watercress or lettuce leaves. 1 tomato, cut into wedges. Cooked rice, for serving.
Instructions: Sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper should all be mixed together in a bowl. Combine well. Put the beef cubes into the sauce. Toss until everything is covered. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. In a pan, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Put beef cubes that have been marinated in the pan. To get a nice sear, don't move the food for one to two minutes. Add the beef cubes to the pan and keep cooking until all sides are browned and the meat is done the way you like it. When you add the red onion wedges, cook for one more minute or until they start to get a little soft. Place the beef that has been shaking on top of a bed of watercress or lettuce leaves. Add tomato wedges on top. Hot rice should be served on the side.
