Culinary Travel: – Cambodia Beef Lok Lak

Similar to Vietnamese Shaking Beef, In Cambodia it might come with chips (fries) and a fried egg or rice-I liked the rice option. You eat it by wrapping portions of the meat and salad ingredients in a lettuce leaf, then dipping that in the dipping sauce. Sometimes the meat is sliced, sometimes it's cubed. Semi ripe tomatoes are preferred to ripe ones, but use what you have!

Ingredients

1 pound beef steaks, sliced (best you can afford)
1⁄4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon tomato sauce(ketchup)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

To serve
2 small tomatoes, sliced
1 cucumber, peeled and finely sliced
1⁄2 small red onion, finely sliced
lettuce, iceberg or romaine leaf
Dipping sauce
juice of a lime

Directions

In a large bowl, mix beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, tomato sauce sugar, fish sauce and ground black pepper and garlic. Marinate at least 20 minutes or up to one hour.

Make dipping sauce, combine ingredients in a small bowl-set aside.

Decorate two dinner plates with sliced tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Set aside.
Place the lettuce leaves on a separate platter.

Heat oil in a wok over a high heat and stir-fry beef until cooked. Divide between the two dinner plates.
