Cha kroeung (kroeung stir-fried meat)

Instructions

1. Mix the meat with the kroeung, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce and pepper. Let it marinate at least 20 minutes in the fridge.
2. Thinly slice the onions and garlic, and cut the lemongrass into thin rounds.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until it lightly smokes.
4. Sear the meat in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, without stirring too much, so it caramelizes.
5. Add the onions, garlic and lemongrass, then stir-fry for 3 minutes until the onions are tender.
6. Taste the seasoning and serve right away with rice and cucumber slices.
