Vietnamese Shaking Beef (Bò Lúc Lắc)
Cubed beef seared in a screaming-hot wok with garlic and butter, served over watercress with a lime-pepper dipping sauce.
Why It Works
The name refers to 'shaking' the wok — tossing the cubes briefly over maximum heat to sear the outside while keeping the inside rare. Butter adds richness that cuts through the acidic dip.
