Vietnamese Shaking Beef

Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1‑inch cubes

2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tsp sugar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro or lime wedges (for garnish)

Optional: black pepper to taste

Directions:

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until very hot. Add the marinated beef in a single layer. Let sear for 1–2 minutes without stirring, then toss and cook for another 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Stir‑fry for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Return the beef to the pan and toss everything together for another 1–2 minutes to blend flavors. Season with additional black pepper if desired.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately with steamed rice or greens.
