Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, marinate the beef cubes with sugar, salt, black pepper and minced garlic for at least 10 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, rice vinegar and sugar to make the sauce. Adjust the sugar to taste, adding it a little at a time. Leave out the onion and garlic for now.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
4. Sear the beef on all sides, shaking the pan, until medium rare, no more than 3 minutes in total. Sear in batches to avoid overcooking. Transfer the beef to a plate.
5. In the empty pan, melt the butter, then add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Add the sauce and the seared beef, and toss until well coated.
7. Serve the beef on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes and/or cucumbers, with rice and optional lime dipping sauce made from lime juice, salt and pepper.
