For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sriracha to the beef mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the Fresno chile before slicing. Jasmine rice and crispy spring rolls make excellent accompaniments to this dish. Fresh herbs are key to the authentic Vietnamese flavor. Don't skimp on the cilantro and mint!
