500g beef sirloin, cut into 2cm cubes
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely sliced
2 tbps fish sauce
1 tbsp sugar
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar, salt and black pepper

Method
- Place beef in a bowl with garlic, fish sauce, sugar, salt and 1 tbsp oil. Combine well, cover with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour. For salad, combine ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a serving plate.

Tips
Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a moister and tender result.
