1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce

Vietnamese Diced Beef, also known as 'Bò Lúc Lắc,' is a classic Vietnamese dish known for its succulent, flavorful beef pieces seasoned with a harmonious blend of sauces and spices. This dish is not only straightforward to prepare but also offers a delightful balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors, making it a perfect addition to any meal.
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the diced beef fillet to the marinade. Toss the beef thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to an hour for best results.
- In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, sugar, and finely chopped red hot chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion wedges and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crunch. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear the beef cubes on all sides until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (about 2-3 minutes per side for medium). Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to do this in batches.
- Once all the beef cubes are cooked, return the onions to the pan. Toss everything together for an additional minute until well combined and heated through.
- Transfer the cooked diced beef and onions to a serving platter. Drizzle the lime-chili sauce over the top. Serve immediately with steamed rice, cooked vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality beef fillet to ensure tenderness and optimal flavor.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- For an extra kick, add more chili peppers according to your spice tolerance.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the beef at its peak flavor and tenderness.
