Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 limes, juice only
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (for dipping sauce)
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 small cucumber, sliced
- 3 cups steamed jasmine rice
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, and black pepper. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 limes, kosher salt, and 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper to make the lime dipping sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for about 1–2 minutes without stirring to allow the beef to caramelize. Then stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides and cooked to your desired doneness. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Arrange the lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber on a platter. Place the cooked beef on top, and serve alongside steamed jasmine rice.
Serve the dish with the lime dipping sauce on the side and encourage diners to dip the beef into the tangy sauce for an added burst of flavor.
