PREPARATION
PREPARING THE BEEF
1.
Mix together all of the beef ingredients in a bowl (beef, minced garlic, minced lemongrass, diced shallot, diced pepper, 1 TBSP fish sauce, sugar).
2.
Let beef marinate for 5-10 min.
COOKING THE VERMICELLI
3.
Bring water to a boil for the vermicelli and rice paper. Place the vermicelli into a bowl and pour the boiling water over it.
4.
Cover and let noodles soften while you’re cooking the beef.
5.
Pour the remaining hot water into a bowl and set aside.
COOKING THE BEEF
6.
Heat up a cast iron pan over high heat.
7.
Add a touch of oil to the pan.
8.
Cook the beef, until crispy and brown, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and cooked through. Remove from heat.
MAKING THE ROLLS
9.
Drain the vermicelli.
10.
Take a rice paper wrapper and completely submerge it in your bowl of hot water for 10-15 seconds.
11.
Place the wrapper on a plate or cutting board – it’ll continue to soften as your assembling your roll.
12.
Add fillings as desired: lettuce, herbs, vermicelli, lemongrass beef.
13.
Fold the bottom half of the wrapper up over the filling, hold the fold in place, fold in the sides and roll, much like a burrito.
14.
Repeat until all the rolls are made.
MAKING THE FISH SAUCE
15.
Crush the clove of garlic (either using a garlic press or the back of a spoon) into the sugar.
16.
Add the lime juice and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
17.
Add the fish sauce (1.5 TBSP), adjusting to taste.
