Equipment

Ingredients

16 oz. strip steak thinly sliced
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp finely chopped lemongrass
3 cloves garlic minced

Optional Serving

Vegetables I used cilantro and carrots.

Instructions

Place the thinly sliced beef in a bowl and marinate with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, chopped lemongrass, and minced garlic for at least 15 minutes, but ideally an hour.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the edges to caramelize.
Stir briefly to finish cooking, making sure the beef is evenly browned and coated in the marinade.
Serve the lemongrass beef over a fresh bowl of rice and optionally serve with vegetables and crispy onions.
