Preparation
- Step 1
For the marinade, combine the garlic, shallots, Maggi sauce, soy sauce and white pepper. Add the cubes of beef, stirring to coat meat well with the marinade. Marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Step 2
For the dressing, combine the red onions, garlic, white pepper, vinegar and oil.
- Step 3
Wash and dry the lettuce, breaking up into individual leaves. Arrange the lettuce on a large serving platter and, before cooking the beef, mix the dressing and pour over the lettuce.
- Step 4
Place two large skillets over high heat and divide one-half cup of vegetable oil between them. When the oil begins to smoke, add the drained beef slices and sliced onions. Stir-fry quickly and shake the pan until the beef is brown on the outside but rare inside. Turn off the heat, add butter, swirl and spoon immediately over lettuce-lined platter.
