instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing your beef. Thinly slice 300 grams of beef against the grain. You may want to freeze the beef for about 30 minutes beforehand to make slicing easier.

    2

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the slices of beef for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

    3

    While the beef is cooling, prepare your vegetables. Peel and shred 1 green papaya and 1 carrot using a grater or mandolin. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

    4

    Squeeze the juice of 2 limes over the shredded vegetables to add flavor and prevent browning. Mix well.

    5

    Once your beef has cooled, add it to the bowl with the green papaya and carrot.

    6

    In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and finely chopped 2 chilies (adjust based on your spice preference). Stir this mix into the salad to add a savory kick.

    7

    Toss in the mint and coriander leaves to elevate the freshness of the dish. Gently mix until everything is combined.

    8

    Finally, chop 50 grams of peanuts and sprinkle them on top as a garnish.

    Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Gỏi Bò!
