- 600 g (1.3 lb) beef
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
- 4 garlic cloves

Instructions
- Slice the beef thinly and boil 3-4 minutes in boiling water. Chop the herbs finely; mince the garlic and chili.

Tips
- Slice the beef as thinly as possible; partially freezing it first makes even slicing much easier.
- Pour the oil when it is really hot, but carefully, so the herbs and garlic bloom without burning.
