Bo Luc Lắc – “Shaking” Beef Salad

Ingredients

3 lbs. New York Strip Steak, cubed
1 tablespoon oil for frying
2 white onions, thinly sliced 1/4 cup white vinegar
½ cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch red lettuce, chopped
1 tomato, sliced

Marinade
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 teaspoons sugar
3.5 teaspoons fish sauce
Black pepper to taste


Directions

Mix all marinade ingredients together, stir in beef cubes and let set in the fridge for 1 hour. Mix vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a shallow bowl. Add onions and ensure the vinegar mixture covers all onion slices. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.

Heat oil in a large frying pan on high and sear the beef in small batches until medium rare – it needs to be tender and sweet inside and slightly burned outside. (Note: if you add all the beef at once it will be steamed and soggy.)

Spread the lettuce and tomato slices on a large plate and place the seared beef on top.

Stir fry onions for 2-4 minutes or until soft. Pour onions and vinegar dressing on top of beef and serve right away.
