Step 1
Score the duck skin in a crosshatch. Season the meat side generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Place duck skin-side down in a cold skillet over medium heat. Cook 8 minutes until skin renders, fat pools, and skin is golden and crispy.
Step 3
Flip the duck, cook 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board, rest 2 minutes, then shred.
Step 4
Pour off all but 2 tbsp fat. Sauté shallots over medium-high until edges curl and char, ~3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Whisk lime juice, minced chili, and fish sauce in a small bowl until fish sauce dissolves. Taste and adjust heat or salt.
Step 6
Divide beets and shredded duck between bowls. Top with crispy shallots and fresh herbs. Drizzle with lime-chili sauce. Serve immediately.
