Shaken beef is a traditional Vietnamese dish, typically "shaken" in a wok. Tartare is a classic French dish — chopped beef served raw. I’ve fused these two greats to come up with something I think you’ll find very cool — not to mention absolutely delicious. See all stir-fry recipes.

Ingredients

1 pound sirloin beef
2 tablespoon grapeseed oil
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon gochujang paste*
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoon seasoned rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 teaspoon grated ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Directions

Mince the beef and set aside. Place a large sauté pan over high heat. When the pan is piping hot, remove it from the heat, add the grapeseed oil, swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, add the meat, and toss quickly until just coated in the oil (the beef will still be raw, but "shaken"). Transfer the meat to a bowl and immediately place in the refrigerator.
In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, gochujang paste, lime juice, vinegar, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, salt, and sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chilled beef, sesame seeds, and mint. Toss gently to combine and serve.
