Vietnamese Beef Rice Paper Rolls

 Vietnamese Beef Rice Paper Rolls

Ingredients:

200 g Beef Chuck or Flank - sliced thinly against the grain

6 sheets Rice Paper Round

6 pcs Green Iceberg Lettuce Leaves

6 pcs Sesame Leaves

6 pcs Pickled Radish

1 small Carrot, julienned

Pickled Cucumber, sliced

1/2 Yellow Sweet Pepper, julienned

1/4 Yellow Onion, sliced

Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (see recipe below)

Peanut Dipping Sauce (see recipe below)

Beef Marinade:
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp Sugar
Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, sugar, and garlic.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Add-in beef, toss to coat, and set aside for 10 minutes.

Pan-sear in a lightly oiled pan, stirring until just done, about 30 seconds, or until desired doneness.

Place all the  ingredients in a plate.

Prepare a deep large bowl deep enough to dip filled with water. Immerse an individual sheet of rice paper round into a bowl of water, and remove only a few seconds; leave it on a towel for about a minute to soften. (It’s ready for wrapping and rolling when it’s pliable and slightly tacky.)

Place lettuce leaf on the center of the rice paper, top with sesame leaf, pickled radish, carrots, sweet pepper, onions, pickled cucumber, and beef. *Don't over stuff or the roll may burst, just have a bit of each ingredient for the flavor.

Fold in the two side flaps, and then fold up one-third of the paper over the filling.

Arrange the beef rice paper rolls on a platter, and serve with dipping sauce.
