Vietnamese Lemongrass Beef Vermicelli Bowls with Garlic Hoisin Sauce

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together fish sauce, honey, chili paste, garlic and lemongrass. Add sliced beef and massage seasoning into beef. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. When oil is nearly smoking, add beef and quickly stir-fry until beef is lightly browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Work in batches if necessary so meat browns and doesn’t steam.

Step 3

Place oil and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat oil over medium-low heat until garlic just starts to sizzle and is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add hoisin sauce and water; stir to combine. Cook sauce until it is warmed through.

Step 4

Place desired amount of noodles, fresh vegetables, cilantro, and mint in a bowl. Top with beef. Drizzle desired amount of garlic hoisin sauce on beef and sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
