Step 1
Mix ground beef, shallot, lemongrass, fish sauce, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide beef into 12 portions. Place one portion on the center of each betel leaf, then fold leaf over and roll tightly.
Step 3
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in batches, sear rolls seam-side down until a deep crust forms, ~2 minutes per side.
Step 4
Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, sliced chili, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to make dipping sauce.
Step 5
Serve rolls hot with chili-lime dipping sauce on the side.
