Ginger Beef Vermicelli (For Two)

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the beef slices, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the cornstarch, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss together; set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil and heat until shimmering. Add half the beef and cook, stirring, until the beef is browned, about a minute. Add half the garlic, half the ginger and half the fish sauce and continue cooking until the beef is cooked through, about two minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining oil, beef, garlic, ginger and fish sauce.

3. 3

   On each serving plate, mound vermicelli and lettuce, then spoon the beef over them. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro. Serve.
