A delightful Cambodian-inspired dish featuring tender beef with a tangy lime dipping sauce, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Combine the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the beef slices to the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
For deeper flavor, you can marinate the beef in the refrigerator overnight.
Mix the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Use warm water to help dissolve the sugar and salt more quickly.
Heat a large sauté pan over high heat until very hot.
Ensure the pan is hot enough to sear the beef properly.
Add the marinated beef to the pan and sauté quickly for 3-4 minutes until cooked to your desired doneness.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain high heat and achieve a good sear.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and place the cooked beef on top.
Use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves for the best presentation.
Sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve with the lime dipping sauce on the side.
Serve immediately to enjoy the beef at its best temperature.
