Beef Lok Lak Cambodian Recipe

---

I ate lots of lok lak on a recent holiday to cambodia. It's similar to vietnamese shaking beef although the cambodians don't like to admit that. 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 (the best part of it i reckon). Sometimes the meat is sliced, sometimes it's cubed-i prefer slices. Semi ripe tomatoes are preferred to ripe ones, but use what you have!!
