Ingredients

Vietnamese Steak Glaze:

Simple Vinaigrette:

Shaken Beef:

Directions

  1. For the steak glaze: Whisk together the oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic and shallot in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. For the simple vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic and shallot in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. For the shaken beef: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the steak cubes and sear until browned, tossing them periodically, until just under the desired temperature, 4 to 5 minutes for medium.
  4. Add the steak glaze and toss until the steak has a shiny gloss and does not sit in a pool of sauce, another minute. Remove from the heat and let rest.
  5. Toss the lettuce, watercress, tomatoes, cucumber and onion in a bowl with the vinaigrette. Plate the salad and cubed steak with the rice and add any garnish desired.
