Ingredients
Shaking Beef Sauce and Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sweet soy sauce kecap manis or Maggie Seasoning
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Vegetable Sides:
- 2 bunches Watercress long stems trimmed
- 2 tomatoes thinly sliced
Shaking Beef Dipping Sauce:
- 1 lime sliced into halves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the Shaking Beef Sauce and marinade with the beef. Marinate for 30 minutes, or preferably 1 to 2 hours.
- Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing the rice vinegar with salt and sugar. It should have a balance of sour, salty, and sweet.
- Use 3–4 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to pickle the red onions. Set aside, covered, in the fridge for about 10 minutes. Arrange the watercress and tomatoes on a serving platter and set aside.
- Heat a wok, pan, or skillet over high heat. Add the cooking oil, and when it begins to smoke, add the beef cubes in an even layer. Allow to sear for about 2 minutes, then sear the opposite sides for another 1-2 minutes to brown all sides. Shake and toss the wok while cooking.
- Transfer the beef to the serving platter. Drizzle the remaining 3–4 tablespoons of vinaigrette over the beef, watercress, and tomatoes. Top the beef with the pickled red onions.
- In a small ramekin, make the Shaking Beef dipping sauce by squeezing lime juice over salt and black pepper. Serve the Shaking Beef immediately with the dipping sauce.
