Co Ut Beef Steak

The beef spot in the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment block, run by Miss Ut and her son

Tucked into alley 357 in the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment block, a space that has been part of local residents' daily life for many years. It is an eatery serving sizzling skillet beef and fried eggs in the morning, cooked straight on a hot pan and usually made up of beef, a fried egg, pate, pork meatballs and bread. The beef is marinated in advance and only goes onto the pan once a customer orders. Each portion is brought out in a cast-iron skillet and served while the dish is still steaming, sizzling away and fragrant with beef and fried garlic. The beef is cut fairly thick and eaten with the fried egg, the pork meatballs and the bread. The meatballs have a mild tomato flavour, while the egg is usually left runny so it can be eaten with the meat juices on the skillet. The experience here is both a breakfast and a chance to discover the everyday street-food habits of a residential neighbourhood in Saigon.
