It’s got tenderness, crunch, and a whole lot of delicious flavour. Vietnamese fillet of beef served with toasted sesame seeds is a winning dish. Known as bit tet xao me in Vietnam, this is delicious with stir-fried rice.
To drink: Pair this with the opulent red and black berry notes and soft, well-integrated tannins of Thelema Mountain Vineyard’s Merlot 2005 – a strong match for the beef.
Combine all the ingredients well and stir in the fillet. Leave to marinate for 40 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Heat the oil in a wok until hot and add the beef in batches. Stir-fry very quickly for about 1 minute. Put the fillet on a serving plate, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and top with the chives. Serve with stir-fried or steamed rice while still hot.Vietnamese fillet of beef served with toasted sesame seeds
