Cooking steps
Step 1: Prepare ingredients
- Put the water spinach leaves aside because you will only use the stalks. After that, slice them into thin strips, soak in water for about 10 minutes and take them out.
- Clean the beef and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Then marinate it with some broth mix powder, salt, fish sauce, black pepper, cooking oil, diced shallots for about 15 minutes so the beef could absorb the flavor.
- Peel the onion, wash and dice it. Soak it into water with some vinegar to reduce the smell. Wash and mince the shallots as well as the garlic.
- Clean, remove the seeds and dice the chili peppers into thin slices.
- Wash the coriander, get rid of the spoiled parts and dice them well.
Step 2: Stir-fry the beef and make the salad
- Heat the pan with 1 spoon of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and shallots in, stir until they smell good.
- Next, add the beef and stir fast over high heat. Turn off the heat immediately after when it’s almost cooked. Note: do not stir-fry the beef for too long or it will get chewy.
- Mix the salad dressing following the ratio: 1 spoon of fish sauce, 1.5 spoons of vinegar, 3 spoons of sugar, 7 spoons of water, 1 spoon of cooking oil, ½ spoon of salt, ½ spoon of black pepper, 1 spoon of lemon juice, some minced garlic, and pepper.
- Then add the beef, spinach, onion and coriander in a big bowl.
- Pour the salad dressing on top and mix well.
- After mixing, wait for about 10 – 15 minutes so the salad is marinated thoroughly and plate some on a dining table. Sprinkle some roasted peanuts and fresh herbs on top to make it more fragrant. This is one of the most popular beef dish recipes in Vietnam.
