Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • ¾ pound filet mignon steak, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ⅜ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced, divided use
Instructions
  1. Cut the beef into roughly 1 inch cubes. In a medium sized bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper. Add the beef and stir to combine. Ensure that the beef is well coated in the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
  2. When ready to cook the meat, heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beef and allow it to sear for 1 minute. Do not disturb the meat. Shake the pan (this is where the name of the dish comes from) so that another side of the beef is on the bottom of the pan. Cook for another minute.
  3. Add the other tablespoon of garlic and continue to shake the pan until the beef is cooked to desired doneness. The beef will taste better if it is still a little rare.
  4. Remove from heat. Serve hot.
