Shaking Beef 

Preparation time    : 10 minutes
  1 hour marinating 
Total cooking  time: 10 minutes
Server : 4

To prepare this recipe we need :
Ingredients :

1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce

1 ½ tablespoons light soy sauce

1½  teaspoons caster sugar
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 spring onions, white part only, finely
   chopped

¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) vegetable oil

750 g (1 ½ lb) lean beef fillet, cut into 2 cm

(¾ inch) cubes

2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon light soy sauce, extra
100 g (3½ oz ) mignonette lettuce or green
   oak lettuce leaves, washed, trimmed
   and dried.

Preparation :

1- Combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar,
garlic, spring onion, 1 teaspoon of the oil,
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
and ½ teaspoon salt in a large non-metallic
bowl. Add the beef, cover with plastic wrap
and marinate in the fridge for at least .
1 hour, or overnight if time permits

2- To make the dressing, combine the rice
vinegar, lime juice, extra soy sauce
3 teaspoons of the oil and 2 teaspoons
 water in a small non-metallic bowl or jug.

3- Place the lettuce leaves on a serving
plate, then pour on the dressing.

4- Heat a wok over high heat, add
1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat the
side of the wok. Add half the beef in one
layer, allowing it to sit without stirring for
1 minute, so that a brown crust forms on the
bottom. Stir-fry the beef briefly, or use the
handle to shake the wok vigorously, tossing
the beef around in the heat, for
3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until
cooked to your liking. Remove the beef from
the Wok, then repeat with the remaining oil
and beef.

5- Arrange the beef over the lettuce leaves
 and serve immediately with steamed rice.
