Gỏi bò xào is a dish built on contrast: the beef is grilled and still warm while the lettuce and herbs are cold and crisp, and the fish sauce dressing is added at the table so the leaves do not wilt. The beef is sliced thin against the grain and grilled very quickly, which is what keeps it tender rather than chewy. The wraps are assembled one at a time and eaten immediately.
