Steps

1

Rinse the beef and finely chop it. Mince the lemongrass and garlic. In a bowl, mix the minced lemongrass, minced garlic, oyster sauce, sugar, black pepper, bouillon powder, and honey. Add the chopped beef and mix well. Knead the mixture, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
2

Choose large, nice betel leaves and trim the stems. Place the beef mixture on the underside of each leaf. Fold the leaf as shown in the picture below. Roll tightly and secure each roll with a skewer.
3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Place the beef skewers in the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, then increase to 480°F (250°C) and bake for another 5 minutes.
4

Transfer the grilled beef rolls to a plate and sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts. Prepare a sweet and sour fish sauce dip, and wash the fresh herbs and cucumber to serve on the side.
