Ingredients

1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
3 tbsp (45 ml) water
3 tbsp (45 ml) lime juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp (30 ml) hazelnut oil
2 tsp (10 ml) sambal oelek (or to taste)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb (450 g) beef tenderloin
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
12 Boston lettuce leaves
1 Asian pear, halved, cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 green onion, chopped

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, lime juice, brown sugar, hazelnut oil, sambal oelek and garlic. Reserve 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the mixture for serving.
On a work surface, cut the tenderloin in half horizontally. Thinly slice both pieces, cutting against the grain of the meat.
In a bowl, combine the beef with the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Drain the meat and reserve the marinade.
In a skillet over high heat, working in batches, quickly brown the beef in the olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate. In the same skillet, bring the reserved marinade to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes (make sure to boil it thoroughly, since it has been in contact with raw meat). Remove from the heat. Pour over the cooked meat and toss to combine.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Top each leaf with slices of beef and pear, then sprinkle with the hazelnuts and green onion. Serve with the reserved sauce and steamed rice, if desired.
