Description

This vibrant Cambodian-inspired dish features tender cubes of sirloin beef marinated in a savory blend of mushroom soy sauce, garlic, and sugar. The quick sear locks in juices while the exterior gets a beautiful char. It is finished with a bright, acidic lime dipping sauce that cuts through the richness of the meat. The combination of sweet, salty, and zesty flavors makes this an excellent choice for party appetizers served with toothpicks or as a light main course over jasmine rice. It comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or last-minute entertaining.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, mushroom soy sauce, and crushed garlic to form the marinade.
  2. Add the cubed sirloin beef to the marinade, stirring well to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  4. While the beef marinates, combine the remaining black pepper with fresh lime juice and water in a small serving bowl to create the dipping sauce.
  5. Heat canola oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
  6. Sear the marinated beef cubes in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to medium-rare.
  7. Arrange the cooked beef on a platter lined with green leaf lettuce leaves.
  8. Serve immediately with the lime sauce on the side and toothpicks for easy eating.
