Bò Lúc Lắc
Vietnamese Shaking Beef
Bò Lúc Lắc, or Vietnamese Shaking Beef, features tender cubes of beef seared to a perfect caramelization and tossed with fragrant aromatics. The name 'lúc lắc' refers to the characteristic shaking motion of the wok used during cooking, which ensures each piece of beef is seared quickly and evenly. This dish is a delightful fusion of French culinary influence and Vietnamese flavors.

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte

Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the cubed beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to ensure each piece of beef is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. If refrigerating, bring the beef back to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
⏱️ 1 hour (minimum marinating) - 2
Prepare the serving platter: Arrange the washed and trimmed watercress on a serving platter. This will provide a fresh, peppery base for the beef.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Sear the beef: Heat a wok or a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Carefully add half of the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the beef for about 1-2 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms. The inside should still be pink. Remove the seared beef to a clean bowl.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes per batch - 4
Repeat the searing process with the remaining beef, adding another tablespoon of oil if needed. Remove the second batch of beef and add it to the bowl with the first batch.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes - 5
Sauté the onions: Add the sliced red onions to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until they are slightly softened and fragrant, but still retain a bit of crispness. Be careful not to overcook them.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 6
Combine and serve: Return all the seared beef to the wok with the onions. Toss everything together quickly for about 30 seconds to heat the beef through and combine the flavors. The goal is to keep the beef tender and pink inside. Immediately transfer the Bò Lúc Lắc onto the prepared platter of watercress. Serve hot with the salt-pepper-lime dip on the side.

💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Achieve a perfect sear by ensuring your wok or skillet is extremely hot before adding the beef. This creates the desirable caramelization.
- ✓Resist the urge to stir the beef constantly. Allow it to sear undisturbed for a minute or two on each side to develop a crust.
- ✓The beef should be cooked to medium-rare, remaining pink and juicy on the inside. Overcooking will make it tough.
- ✓For the salt-pepper-lime dip, mix fresh lime juice with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the ratio to your preference.
