Seared beef and bean sprouts in spicy lime dressing
This recipe requires preparation in advance!
This dish is similar to an Indo-Chinese dish, Goi Bo and variation of it that are found in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Because the beef is only cooked for a short time, it's worth using high quality beef such as fillet for this dish.
