Bò lúc lắc (Vietnamese shaking beef)

Bò lúc lắc, shaking beef, is a Saigon dish from the French-influenced south, ordered at family dinners and celebrations: cubes of tender steak seared in a smoking pan and shaken with garlic and onion, then tipped over peppery watercress and tomato with a lime, salt and pepper dip. The mistake almost everyone makes is crowding the pan, which boils the meat grey instead of searing it; cook in two batches. Chef's tip: let the cubes sit untouched for a full minute before the first shake to build a dark crust.

Tagliata di manzoSliced seared steak with rocket

Tagliata simply means 'cut', and in Tuscan trattorie from Florence to the Chianti hills it is a thick steak seared hard, rested, then sliced and fanned over a bed of peppery rocket with shavings of parmesan, olive oil and coarse salt. It is a quick, generous dinner for two or three, and the warm meat juices dress the leaves as you eat. The big mistake is slicing straight from the pan: the juices run out onto the board, so give the steak a proper rest. Rare and medium-rare are safe for a whole-muscle steak because any bacteria sit on the seared surface; for pregnant people, young children or anyone vulnerable, cook it to 63 °C or beyond. Chef's tip: dry the steak well with kitchen paper and salt it 10 minutes before cooking for a deep brown crust.

Idaho finger steaks

Finger steaks are Idaho's diner and drive-in speciality, said to have been invented by a butcher in Boise in the 1950s who battered the trimmings of steaks and fried them. Strips of tender sirloin are dipped in a light, peppery batter and deep-fried until crisp, then eaten with chips and pink fry sauce at the county fair. Chef's tip: cut the beef into even strips about 1.5 cm thick so they cook to tender in the 2 minutes it takes the batter to brown.
