Bò lúc lắc -Shaking beef- -8/5/10
Bò lúc lắc is a popular Vietnamese dish that is so easy and fast to prepare. The dish is super simple with amazing robust flavors of tender, moist, cubed filet mignon! Lúc lắc means shaking in Vietnamese and what it refers to is when the beef is tossed in the wok or pan it is shaken back and forth to cook the meet. In America beef are usually eaten in form of a big steak but in Asia the beef is cut into pieces so it is easier to share.
Kevin does not care for Vietnamese food but he adores Bò lúc lắc. If we go to a Vietnamese restaurany this is probably what he will order.
