We eat at a viatnamese resturant in St. Louis my husband allways orders beef with lemongrass and hot chilis. They serve it with broken rice, I have been trying to copy the recipe, since I love to cook, and finally this is the best so far. I also made it with tofu instead of beef for myself and it is great!! The nouc cham rocks too!! Very important!! I love this, I have been looking for a good recipe for lemongrass beef!!

It is always good to know that something I have posted has been a help to someone, or meant something to them. Comments like yours keep me writing, and cooking and creating. Thanks for the good energy, and I wish you and your parents all the best. If you haven't tried the pork kho recipe with the nuoc mau--give it a shot when you can. The flavor is exquisite. My husband, who will do nearly anything if I make the lemongrass beef for him (I just made it for him tonight, in fact), also really digs into the pork. It is fantastic, and very simple, once you make the nuoc mau. Kels, you don’t know how happy your comment makes me to hear.

Sadly, my university town has very few (good) Vietnamese restaurants, and my folks have moved to a place that has none at all! The dish I miss most happens to be lemongrass beef - so imagine my joy when you posted this recipe! I tried it tonight, and WOW. That nuoc cham smell, the fresh green herbs, the tangy-sweet-spicy-salty goodness of the meat... all those happy nights at my old favourite Vietnamese restaurant came flooding back. I made it with rice vermicelli, since that is how I always had it in the good old days, but I will definately try the broken rice version soon. My parents will be thrilled when I cook this for them!

Golden Boy is much less salty than other brands I have tried, like Three Crabs or Squid brand. Golden Boy, if you can find it, has a light flavor that is neither overpoweringly fishy or salty. I am glad you liked the recipe overall, though. And I agree with you--Siam Queen rocks, and I cannot wait for it to be in season here, too. And yes, I am going to be making that tomato salad again, too! It is great to hear from you again--keep up the good cooking! Deanna–some fish sauce brands are very salty.
