Beef Lok Lak
Shaking Beef
Beef Lok Lak, also known as 'shaking beef,' is a popular Cambodian dish featuring tender cubes of beef stir-fried with onions and a savory sauce. It's traditionally served on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes and cucumber, accompanied by a zesty lime and pepper dipping sauce. The name 'lok lak' refers to the tossing and shaking motion used when cooking the beef.

Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the beef cubes with minced garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), sugar, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Using Kampot pepper, a Cambodian specialty, adds an authentic flavor. - 2
Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for about 1-2 minutes per side, shaking the pan frequently, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: High heat is crucial for searing the beef quickly without overcooking it. - 4
Stir-fry the onions: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until translucent and slightly softened.

Combine and finish: Return the seared beef to the pan with the onions. Toss everything together for about 30 seconds to coat the beef in any rendered juices and onion flavor. Be careful not to overcook the beef.

Plate and serve: Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Top with sliced tomatoes and cucumber. Place the cooked beef and onions in the center. Serve immediately with the lime and pepper dipping sauce and steamed jasmine rice.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Some variations include a fried egg on top of the beef.

- โThe dipping sauce is essential for balancing the richness of the beef.
