Ingredients for Vietnamese-Style Beef
Full recipe can be found at the end of the post.
Pantry Ingredients
- soy sauce – make sure it's low-sodium otherwise the dish can end up too salty
- brown sugar – the golden or light colored variety
- fish sauce – a lot of people have an aversion to fish sauce, but this recipe does not taste like fish sauce, but it definitely contributes to overall complexity of the dish
- peanut or canola oil – or any other high cooking temperature oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- salted peanuts – make sure they are halved
Fresh Ingredients
- lime juice – you want this to be fresh, not the bottled stuff
- garlic – can't beat fresh garlic in this dish
- beef tenderloin – beef tenderloin is not filet mignon, instead, it houses the filet mignon, which comes from the end portion of the tenderloin
- yellow onion
- scallions – use the white and green parts
How To Make Vietnamese-Style Beef
Step one: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce; stir until the sugar dissolves. In another small bowl, stir the garlic, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the oil, and 1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper.
Step two: Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a 12″ nonstick skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Swirl to coat the skillet. Add half of the beef in a single layer and cook, without stirring, until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs, turn the pieces over and brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining beef, adding to the bowl with the first batch when done.
Step three: Put the remaining 1-1/2 Tablespoons oil in the skillet and heat until shimmering hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, mixture and cook stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the pan and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the beef and onions are coated and the sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step four: Serve sprinkled with peanuts and scallions.
Can I Make Any Substitutions?
- You can leave out the peanuts if you choose.
- Try adding water chestnuts, edamame, baby corn, sugar snap peas or snow peas.
- Instead of serving over rice, try it over a bed of watercress for a lower-carb option.
Is This Recipe Similar To Bo Luc Lac ~ Shaking Beef?
While the ingredients are similar, it's overall a little different.
This Vietnamese-style beef is a quicker recipe, not requiring a marinade, but flavors are somewhat similar. This version is less sweet though.
Can I Use A Different Cut of Beef?
You can, but beef tenderloin will be the most tender.
You can try substituting flank or round steak, but remember to barely cook the beef the first time around and let it cook through completely when adding it at the end.
