Shaking beef

Shaking beef (Vietnamese: bò lúc lắc, French: bœuf lôc lac) or beef lok lak (Khmer: ឡុកឡាក់សាច់គោ, lok lak sach kor) consists of beef sauteed with cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pepper, and soy sauce. The beef is cut into small cubes the size of playing dice (hột lúc lắc) before being sauteed. Beef used to be a luxury ingredient, therefore the dish was mostly served at formal events, such as wedding banquets and anniversaries,[1] however nowadays, it has become a common food.[2]
