Vietnamese Shaking Beef

(3)
"Working with @thefeedfeed and @beefandlambnz (#ad) today and sharing one of my family’s recipes for Vietnamese Shaking Beef (Bo Luc Lac)! This is a dish I grew up eating, it’s super easy to make - cooking time is less than 5 minutes on the pan! The steak has a melt in your mouth texture - especially if you use high quality pieces of grass-fed beef (Full recipe on my IG story highlights). I used tenderloin rounds from @silverfernfarmsusa. It was my first time ordering one of their sampler boxes from @marxfoods and HOLY WOW could we tell the difference in this grass-fed beef that’s naturally raised on open pastures in New Zealand. This results in a beautiful, natural marbling that made every bite juicy and tender. If you want to try a @silverfernfarmsusa sampler box for yourself, order from MarxFoods.com and get it delivered to your doorstep. They’re offering a special 10% off with the code NZGRASSFED ! #tastepurenature #deliciousstartshere & #feedfeed #paidad"

Shake the pan vigorously for another minute until all sides are charred. Be careful not to overcook. *If your pan isn’t big enough to sear all the meat in an even layer, divide the beef in half and repeat step 4.
