About

The zing of the lemongrass and the heat of the garlic make this grilled beef recipe a very flavorful, fragrant dish. Easy to make in under an hour, the beef is delicious with an herb noodle salad, steamed rice, or rice vermicelli; over a bed of Bibb lettuce and tomatoes; or alone with nuoc cham. You can also skewer the beef cubes as kebabs or even pan-fry them in a skillet to be served as appetizers.
