Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lemongrass stalk, dry outer shell peeled off, and white part only, finely diced*
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
2 chiles, finely diced, plus 1 chile, finely sliced for garnish
12 ounces lean beef sirloin, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
15 betel leaves, roughly sliced*
2 sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), for garnish
Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
*Can be found at specialty Asian markets and online.

Directions

In a smoking hot fry pan or wok, add the vegetable oil and lemongrass and cook until fragrant, then add the garlic and chiles.

Now add the beef and stir fry for 2 minutes, then season with the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Add the betel leaves and stir fry for a further minute.

Transfer the mixture to a plate and garnish with sliced chile and coriander (cilantro).

Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Cook's Note

When dicing the lemongrass, always use a nice heavy sharp knife. If you have a second knife, use the two simultaneously. Do not discard the tips of a lemon grass stalk, steep it in hot water and drink it as lemon grass tea.
