Directions
- Rinse the beef, then place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm it up and make it easier to slice. After that, cut it into thin slices, about 5 mm thick.
- Marinate the beef for 30 minutes with 2 tablespoons of oil paint, a little pepper, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of powdered seasoning.
- Remove the shells from the shrimp, keeping the tails, remove the dark vein, rinse, drain, and then season with a little salt and pepper. ≈ 2 min
- Lay the beef slices flat on a surface. ≈ 4 min
- Place a shrimp on each, roll them up, and repeat until all are used. ≈ 10 min
- Finely chop the green onions and mix them with a little oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon of oil paint. ≈ 8 min
- Line a baking sheet with banana leaves, arrange the rolls on top, and bake at 180 °C for about 5 minutes. Remove them from the oven, brush with onion oil, and return them to the oven until they are cooked evenly. If you don’t have an oven, they are also delicious cooked over a wood fire.
- Coat the meat with the onion oil paint mixture to make it tender, glossy, and appealing. ≈ 4 min
