INGREDIENTS
|
4 Servings
6-8 ounces beef or buffalo rump roast
1 1/2 cups chopped sweet yellow onions
1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons fish sauce, divided (nuoc mam )
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves, cleaned and dried (about 4 cups worth; or
"rau muong" instead of spinach)
3 ripe roma tomatoes, sliced into thin wedges
hot cooked jasmine rice, for serving |
|
METHODS
|
1. Trim excess fat from meat and slice thinly (which is easier when meat is slightly frozen) against the grain.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, sliced meat, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, 2 teaspoons of the fish sauce, and the cornstarch; stir well to coat and set aside to marinate (the cornstarch tenderizes and makes the meat "velvety").
3. Over high temperature, heat a large skillet or wok and - when the skillet is very hot - add the oil ("hot wok, cold oil, food won't stick"); add the marinated meat mixture and sauté until the meat is cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Remove cooked mixture from skillet and set aside.
5. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan and stir fry the minced garlic for 1 minute.
6. Add spinach leaves and stir fry for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
7. Add remaining 4 teaspoons fish sauce and tomato, and stir fry 2 minutes.
8. Add the cooked meat mixture and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet, combine well, and cook until heated through and sauce comes to desired consistency (the cornstarch will effect the consistency - you can add a bit of water, broth, or sherry if it becomes thicker than you'd like).
9. Serve immediately with hot cooked jasmine rice. |
