Main course
BEEF LOK LAK (Lok Lak Sach Ko)
Beef Lok Lak is a Cambodian dish of quick-seared tenderloin, served over a bed of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, usually topped with a fried egg. The beef tenderloin is cut into cubes and marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and palm sugar, then cooked hot and fast to ensure it stays tender. A simple dipping sauce of roasted Kampot pepper, sea salt, and lime juice provides a bright, tangy contrast to the rich beef. This whole meal comes together in under 30 minutes, making it a good option for a weeknight.
