Step 1
Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, and minced chiles together in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear the beef in a single layer without stirring for 90 seconds until edges turn golden. Flip and sear the other side 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 30–45 seconds until fragrant—don't let it brown.
Step 5
Pour the fish sauce mixture into the pan and stir for 15 seconds to warm through. Return beef to the skillet with any juices.
Step 6
Toss everything together gently, then slide onto a serving plate. Scatter cilantro and mint over the top. Serve hot.
