Method

Beef Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, finely chop the lemongrass and garlic cloves. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips. Add the beef to the marinade and ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

Rice Cooking

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  3. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Beef Cooking

  1. 6

    Cook the Beef

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until browned and cooked to your preference.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 7

    Prepare the Garnishes

    While the beef is cooking, thinly slice the cucumber, chop the cilantro, and slice the green onions. Cut the lime into wedges.

  2. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve a portion of jasmine rice on a plate, top with the cooked lemongrass beef, and garnish with cucumber, cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges.
