   Vietnamese Shaking Beef Recipe

   Serves 3

   INGREDIENTS

   Beef Marinade
   
   2 lbs sirloin (trim off excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes)
   
   1 teaspoon granulated sugar
   
   1 teaspoon salt
   
   ½ teaspoon black pepper
   
   2 garlic cloves (mince)
   
   2 tablespoons vegetable oil

   Sauce

   2 tablespoons unsalted butter
   
   1 small red, white or yellow onion (slice into thin wedges)
   
   1 garlic clove (mince)
   
   2 tablespoons soy sauce
   
   1 teaspoon fish sauce
   
   2 tablespoons honey
   
   2 tablespoons rice vinegar
   
   2 teaspoons granulated sugar

   Lime Dipping Sauce (Optional)
   
   4 teaspoons lime juice (about half a lemon/lime)
   
   1 teaspoon salt
   
   ½ teaspoon black pepper

   INSTRUCTIONS

   In a large bowl, marinate beef with sugar, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic for at least 10 minutes. In a small bowl, make the sauce by mixing together soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sugar. Add sugar a little at a time to taste. Leave out the aromatics (onions and garlic) at this point.

   In a large skillet or wok, heat up vegetable oil on high. Add the beef cubes and sear on all sides by shaking the beef until medium rare. It's highly recommended to do this in batches to get a nice sear without overcooking. No more than 3 minutes total. Transfer beef to a plate and set aside.

   To the now empty skillet, add butter. Once melted, add onions and garlic. Saute until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Add sauce mixture and seared beef cubes. Toss until nicely coated. Transfer beef and sauce onto a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, and/or cucumbers. Serve shaking beef with rice, and optional dipping sauce by mixing together lime juice, salt, and pepper.
