I can't verify that this salad is indeed Vietnamese but that's what M calls it. It's an awesome night when I look in an empty refrigerator and have all the ingredients for a good dish (I haven't gone grocery shopping in a long time and have been trying to eat all the food in the fridge and pantry because we are moving on Saturday). This will feed 2-3 people and we eat it over rice. Yes, lettuce on rice - like bibimbop!Vietnamese Beef Salad
- Lettuce sliced in thin strips (butter, bib, red leaf and even watercress works)
- 1 tomato medium dice
- 2 thinly sliced hard boiled eggs
- 1/4 lb eye of round thinly sliced against the grain mix with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Heat olive oil in wok, brown quarter of onion and 1 clove of garlic, add meat mixture, sautee.
- 1 lime
Place lettuce in bowl. Add eggs (I like to put them in a circle) around the bowl. Heap cooked beef in middle. Sprinkle entire salad with lots of fresh cracked pepper. Squeeze juice of 1 lime. Toss and serve over steamed white rice.
