Vietnamese Shaken Beef

Ingredients

• 500 g rump or sirloin steak (Cut into 1-inch cubes.)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (An additional 1 tbsp may be added when deglazing, if needed.)
• 4 garlic (Minced cloves.)
• cornstarch (The source states “tbsp” but does not provide a number.)
• 1 tbsp butter (Reserved for finishing the beef; exclude from the marinade.)
• white onion (Amount not specified; prepare for cooking until soft.)
• green bell pepper (Amount not specified; prepare for cooking until soft.)
• white jasmine rice (The source states “cup” but does not provide a number; intended to make two portions.)
• watercress (For the side salad.)
• cucumber (For the side salad.)
• tomato (For the side salad.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   Marinate the beef with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Do not add the butter to the marinade. Let the beef marinate briefly while you prepare the vegetables and rice.

3. 3

   Prepare the white jasmine rice and the onion and green bell pepper while the beef marinates. The source does not specify a rice-cooking method or timing.

4. 4

   Heat a pan until hot, then cook the marinated beef for approximately 3–4 minutes, until it reaches medium-rare.

5. 5

   Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set it aside.

6. 6

   Add the white onion and green bell pepper to the pan and cook until soft.

7. 7

   If needed, add an extra tablespoon of oyster sauce and some water to deglaze the pan, scraping up the beef residue from the bottom.

8. 8

   Return the beef to the pan and add the butter. Toss everything together until combined.

9. 9

   Serve the shaken beef over the white jasmine rice with a side salad of watercress, cucumber, and tomato.
