I'm in Ha Giang province, northernmost of Vietnam.
I'm feeling extremely happy right now because it's breathtakingly beautiful here.
Ha Giang is a very barren land with mostly rocky mountains and very little rain.
So the locals can only grow corn and raise cows here.
So today, I want to use these two most typical ingredients and cook my lunch.
With this majestic view that I've never seen before, I'm getting hungry. So let's get started!
I just bought a beautiful piece of beef shirloin earlier this morning.
So I'm gonna make a very simple beef steak. Just have to season with some salt and pepper
with just a little bit of oil. Beautiful! I also bought some sweet potato,
bamboo shoot, and corn from the market. I want to grill them first because they take more time
to cook. Just place them around my fire like this. Okay, let's check if my oil is hot enough.
Yes, absolutely hot enough. It's time to cook my beef.
Meanwhile, I have to cut my onions for the sauce. Cooking here is such a great experience.
Just a little bit longer, then we can flip it. What about my sweet potato? It's coming
along really nicely. I can't wait. Time to flip the steak. Wow, look at it!
The weather is so nice. There are a lot of winds. I feel like flying up here.
Look at it. Just look at it. My steak is cooked enough. I need to let it rest for a few minutes
before cutting it. I'm gonna make a caramel onion sauce with some lemongrass,
ginger, and galangal flavor. Add in some oil and add all the onions in there.
Next, I need to crush the lemongrass, galangal, and ginger. Let's give it a try.
Super sweet. The color looks so nice. I need to add in just a little bit of water and let it
reduce. All the corn, sweet potato, and bamboo shoot are done. I'll set them aside.
Season the sauce with some salt and pepper. The sauce is reducing very nicely.
Wow, I want to add in a little bit of lime juice. Now it's perfect.
So, so sexy. This is my beef steak made in Ma Pi Leng mountain pass. I can't wait to try it.
The beef is so tender. And the onion. Wow.
So soft. Really soft and sweet. And eating with the beef.
I'm so happy. I've traveled a very long way to be here and cook this amazing dish.
This is an unforgettable experience. I can't even believe in my own eyes
that I'm here. Still right here. Look at that majestic view.
