Description

Experience the irresistible Bo Luc Lac, a quick Vietnamese Shaking Beef dish that transforms weeknight meals into flavorful feasts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Rib-eye or Top Sirloin Steak
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 cup Diced Yellow Onion
  • ½ cup Oil
  • 1 bunch Fresh Watercress

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Marinate Beef: In a large bowl, combine the beef, minced garlic, black pepper, and the prepared marinade. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Sear Beef: Heat ½ cup of oil in a wok over high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches for about 1 minute until slightly charred.
  4. Cook Vegetables: In the same wok, stir-fry the diced yellow onion for 1 minute, then add the diced red bell pepper and sauté until tender, about 1 minute.
  5. Combine and Finish: Add the seared beef back into the wok with the reserved marinade. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve: Arrange the mixture over fresh watercress and serve alongside white rice.

Notes

  • Flank steak can be used as a substitute for rib-eye or top sirloin.
  • Fresh garlic provides the best flavor.
  • Adjust sugar to taste.
  • Use a high-smoke point oil for searing.
