Bo Luc Lac (shaking beef)

Marinate for the steak:

3/4 pound thickly cut steak (rib eye or filet mignon)  cut into small cube
1 T  fish sauce
2 t soy sauce
1/2 t sugar
1/2 t black pepper
2 T vegetable oil
2 T garlic..minced 

Combine the beef and the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper in a medium bowl.  Let marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes,

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat (cast iron works great to get good browning).  Add the beef and let it cook without turning for a minute or two to get a good browning.  Shake the skillet to turn the meat and let the other side cook the same way.  Add the garlic and continue cooking and shaking until the beef is done to your liking.

Garnish with 1/2 C very thin slices purple onion

I also like to serve over a bed of lettuce and thinly sliced tomato...

serve with rice 

ENJOY
