Q: Could you please get us the recipe for the Shaken Beef from the restaurant Nam? It is our favorite dish in all of Atlanta.
- Xaviere Chatagnier, Big Canoe
A: Nam, an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, has quickly made a name for itself in Atlanta. Owner Alex Kinjo gladly provides the recipe for the Shaken Beef, one of the restaurant's signature dishes. Ultra-tender cubes of filet mignon are marinated in seasonings and quickly stir-fried or "shaken" until just barely cooked.
