Nai Luc Lac (Vietnamese Shaking Venison)

The last entry/entree in this dinner in late October was nai luc lac (Vietnamese shaking venison), which really is just Bo Luc Lac (Vietnamese Shaking Beef) made with deer meat.

You'll need:
1 lb venison, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 or 2 tomatoes, sliced
1 bunch watercress, or mixed field greens, or lettuce, or whatever type of greens you wish
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp Nuoc Mam (Vietnamese Fish Sauce) or soy sauce or oyster sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 onion, thinly sliced for sauteeing or Hanh Dam (Vietnamese Vinegared Onions)

Dice the beef into 1-inch cubes. Add 2 tsp fish sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp sugar to marinade. Set aside and let it marinate at room temperature.

Wash greens. Slice tomatoes. Arrange the greens on your plate.

Mince garlic.

In a wok or saute pan on high heat, drizzle a bit of oil. Add minced garlic and thinly sliced onions. Add in the venison, minus the marinade, and "shake" it until edges are charred and the venison is cooked to your liking.

Don't stir-fry the meat too much. Let it sear before tossing it in the pan. When the meat is all evenly seared, add in the reserved marinade and stir to make sure the juices are cooked.

Serve as a salad or with Com Do Ca Chua (Vietnamese Tomato Paste Red Rice). You can also serve it with a small dipping sauce of ground black pepper, salt, and a squeeze of lime or lemon.

Enjoy!
