30 min Hands-on time + 20 min soaking or marinating first
EasyDifficulty
5 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Sear the outside of the veal over a flame for 3 minutes until slightly charred, then wipe off the ash.
  2. 2 Slice the veal thinly across the grain, then marinate it with chili paste and chopped lemongrass for 20 minutes.
  3. 3 Heat the pan until very hot, then stir-fry the meat over high heat for 90 seconds and remove immediately.
  4. 4 Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic for 2 minutes until crispy.
  5. 5 Add the meat, season with oyster sauce, and toss the pan for 30 seconds; stir-frying veal for more than 2 minutes will make it tough and lose its flavor.
