Dinner 1 Hr. 15 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 0.5 cup soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®)
  • 0.25 cup lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound beef steak, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
  • 4 potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large onion, cut into rings
  • 0.125 cup water

Instructions

  • Combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking. Add sliced beef, making sure it is coated evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat. Fry potatoes in the hot oil until the edges turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat and fry onions until edges turn brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the same plate.
  • Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Reserve marinade and fry beef in batches, adding more vegetable oil if necessary, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the plate and continue with remaining beef.
  • Pour reserved marinade into the pan with water to deglaze, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings. Return beef back to the pan with some onion, leaving remaining onion for garnish; reduce heat and let simmer until sauce has thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Slide beef and sauce onto a serving plate. Garnish with remaining onion. Place potatoes on the side and serve.
