Vietnamese diced beef

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.

Ingredients:

21 oz beef fillet
600g
1/4 cup oyster sauce
70g
1 tbsp soy sauce
18g
1 tbsp fish sauce
18g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp sesame oil
4.50g
1/4 cup lime juice
60g
2 tbsp sugar
24g
1/2 red hot chili peppers
22g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 onions
220g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 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.
2. Marinate the Beef:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
- 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.
4. Cook the Onions:
- 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.
5. Cook the Beef:
- 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.
6. Combine Beef and Onions:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

By following this recipe, you can enjoy a delicious and authentic Vietnamese Diced Beef right at home. The combination of oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice brings out an irresistible flavor that will leave your taste buds craving for more. Serve it over a bed of rice or alongside fresh vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
