Vietnamese Shaking Beef Recipe
2 Filet Mignon Steaks (3/4 inch cubes)
7 Garlic Cloves (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce (Lee Kum Kee)
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Fish Sauce (Tiparos)
Black Pepper (fresh cracked)
1 Tsp. Chili Garlic Sauce (Vietnamese)
1 Tsp. Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp. Dark Soy
Olive Oil

Cooking Directions
1. Cut filet in 3/4 inch cubes. Set inside a large bow.
2. Chop the garlic, add to bowl.
3. Now the fish sauce, soy sauce, pepper, and oyster sauce. Mix well. Marinade overnight or at least 2 hours.
4. In a separate bowl mix brown sugar, dark soy sauce, and chili sauce. Set aside.
5. When you're ready to cook, heat a wok or skillet high. Add oil let smoke 2 seconds, then add beef. Do not crowd the pan. Do not move the beef, let is brown for 2 minutes or until a brown crust forms. At that point, shake the pan so the beef cooks on other sides. You can use tongs to move beef as well, but "shaking" the beef is what this dish is all about.
6. When the beef has browned for about 6 minutes or so, add the chili/dark soy/brown sugar mixture to the pan. Shake the pan until the beef is fully coated with that spicy sweet sauce.
7. Serve over cabbage or any type of greens such as watercress. Top with pickled red onions and cilantro.
