Ingredients:

  • 200 grams beef, cut into 2×2 cm cubes

For the Marinade:

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper

For Stir-Frying:

  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk green onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef:
    Clean the beef and cut it into 2×2 cm cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and ground black pepper. Add the beef cubes to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate for longer if time permits.

  2. Cook the Beef:
    Heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add the marinated beef cubes, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer. Cook slowly, allowing the beef to become tender and fully cooked. Note: If the beef is splattering, it indicates that it is not yet cooked through.

  3. Add Aromatics:
    Once the beef is cooked, add the finely chopped garlic and green onion to the pan. Pour in any remaining marinade that was used for marinating. Continue to cook until the mixture comes to a boil and the garlic and onion are fragrant.

  4. Serve:
    Remove from heat and transfer the Dancing Beef to a serving dish. This vibrant and flavorful dish is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot and savor the delightful Vietnamese flavors.

Enjoy your Dancing Beef ala Vietnam, a dish that promises a symphony of flavors with every bite. Happy cooking!
