Bo Luc Lac: Shaken Beef

Made a super quick dinner of Bò Lúc Lác (Vietnamese Shaken Beef) over greens, tomatoes and cucumbers with Ranger Cattle sirloin. Served with jasmine rice for my little man (and the big man, too). Old recipe that I use time and time again. Everyone is happy and it's super quick.

Bò Lúc Lác
Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin cut into 1″ cubes
  • 1 Tbs minced garlic
  • 1.5 Tbs sugar
  • 2 tbs oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbs fish sauce 
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
Directions:

  1. In a shallow bowl or container, mix together garlic, sugar, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce.  Marinate beef for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  2. Heat a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add about 2 tbs cooking oil and when it begins to smoke, add an even layer of beef and allow to sear for about 1 minute, before “shaking” to sear the opposite sides for about another 1-2 minute more to brown all the sides. Do not overcook! 
  3. The goal is medium-rare beef. If overcooked, the meat will be tough. Do this in batches to cook all the beef if necessary.
  4. Serve over rice or greens and drippings from pan and/or vinaigrette*
*Optional vinaigrette:
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1.5 tbs sugar
1/2 tbs salt
