Beef Marinade

Vegetable Bed

Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the diced beef with soy sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, minced garlic, and sugar. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Vegetable Bed Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the vegetable bed. Arrange sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, sliced onions, and shredded lettuce on a large serving platter.

Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Once the beef is cooked and the rice is ready, serve the sautéed beef over the prepared vegetable bed. Accompany with a side of fluffy rice. Enjoy your Shaking Beef!
