Thit Bo Xao Khoai Tay (Stir-fried beef with potatoes)

If you like your meat with potatoes, then you'll LOVE this dish. It's very flavorful which goes perfect with the tender cuts of filet mignon. This dish is noms noms noms. Slices of filet mignon are stir fried and then poured over a bed of fried potatoes and enjoyed with jasmine rice. Not exactly the healthiest dish but will definitely make you one happy camper. 

Ingredients: 

4-5 potatoes

1 lb of filet mignon meat

maggi seasoning

sugar

pepper

7 cloves of garlic (minced)

Preparing the meat

1. Slice filet mignon into thin slices. 

2. In a bowl, add 1/8 PS bot nem ga, 1/3 PS sugar, a little MSG, 1/2 PS oyster sauce, 3/4 PS maggi seasoning, and 1/3 of the minced garlic. 

3. Toss around and let marinate for 10-30 minutes. As this is marinating, move onto the next step (frying potatoes). 

Frying the potatoes

1. Peel 4-5 potatoes. Slice potatoes into 1/4 slices. 

2. In a skillet, add oil. On med-high heat, add potatoes and deep fry until golden brown. Turn over occasionally. This should cook fairly quickly (around 4 minutes).

3. When done, remove potato slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Set aside. 

Cooking the meat

1. In a large skillet, add oil on high heat. Add remaining garlic until it becomes fragrant. **The trick to this stir fry is to have the oil be EXTREMELY hot before adding the beef. 

2. Add the beef to the skillet and stir constantly. Move the skillet back and forth to shake the beef. If you do this right, flames should come up from under the skillet and lightly touch the beef. This gives it a good slightly charred flavor. 

3. Remove the beef from the skillet and pour over the potatoes. Sprinkle a LITTLE bit of pepper over the beef and you're done! 

4. Enjoy!
