Bò Lúc Lắc

Bò Lúc Lắc, or 'shaking beef,' is a vibrant Vietnamese dish featuring tender beef cubes stir-fried with a medley of aromatic vegetables. This low-carb version replaces traditional rice with a fresh salad, making it a delightful and healthy dinner option.

Ingredients

• Beef tenderloin - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Worcestershire sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1 medium, diced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large, for serving
• Cilantro - a handful, for garnish
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a bowl, marinate the beef cubes with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened.
4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
6. Serve the beef mixture over lettuce leaves and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
