Vietnamese Shaky Beef Recipes

SHAKING BEEF

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.
• In a small ramekin, make the Shaking Beef Dipping Sauce by squeezing lime juice over salt and black pepper. Serve the Shaking Beef immediately with the dipping sauce.

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.
