🇻🇳 Vietnam recipe

Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef)

Named for the tossing motion used to cook it, bo luc lac features tender cubes of marinated beef seared at blazing high heat in a wok until crusty on the outside and rare in the center, then tossed with garlic, butter, and served atop a bed of peppery watercress with a tangy lime and pepper dipping sauce.
