Bai Domnaeb is a beloved traditional Cambodian dish that celebrates the rich flavors of marinated grilled beef. Each bite is a delightful fusion of savory, tangy, and slightly spicy notes, making it a favorite at family gatherings and festive occasions. The beef is marinated in a zesty blend of lemongrass and garlic, then grilled to perfection, served alongside a refreshing lime dipping sauce. This dish not only bursts with flavor but also holds a significant place in Cambodian culture, where grilled meats are cherished for their communal and celebratory nature.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Beef sirloin
1 pound, thinly sliced
Lemongrass
2 stalks, finely minced
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Fish sauce
3 tablespoons
Soy sauce
2 tablespoons
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Lime juice
2 tablespoons
Red chili pepper
1, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, lime juice, chopped red chili pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for optimal flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is well-prepared for cooking.
  4. Remove the beef from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill the beef slices for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a cutting board and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  6. Arrange the sliced beef on a serving platter, garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve Bai Domnaeb warm with a side of steamed rice and a tangy lime dipping sauce.
