- 3 TBSP neutral oil
- 1/2 cup minced garlic
- 2 whole lemongrass stalks (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 cup green onion (chopped)
- 2 TBSP kaffir lime leaves (finely minced)
- 3 whole bird's eye chili pepper (finely minced)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder (Totole brand)
- 2 TBSP oyster sauce
- Steam rice to enjoy the stir fry with
In a good non stick pan, add in the oil and heat it up to medium high. Add in the minced garlic and thinly sliced lemongrass. Saute for about 3-4 minutes until the the garlic get slightly brown, then add in the thinly sliced beef. Season with the salt, chicken bouillon, and oyster sauce. Saute on HIGH heat just until the beef is almost cooked and you see only some pink parts of the beef.
Then add in all the herbs/aromatics. Saute for 15-30 sec until you no longer see any pink parts of the beef then turn off the heat. Try not to overcook the beef so it can stay tender. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve over fresh steamed rice and enjoy while it's still hot.
