The flavorful combination of lemongrass, garlic, and chili paste makes a great marinade for sliced beef. Lemongrass is one of those herbs that add an intense flavor to meat. If you do not want to grill the meat, sautéing it with the marinade also creates a delicious dish.

Ingredients

  • ¼ tablespoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ table

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, sugar, chili paste, fish sauce, and water. Whisk until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Set aside.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the onion and shallot and cook for a few minutes. Next, add the garlic and lemon-grass and cook for a minute.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and add the beef slices. Q
