The best pepper steak recipe you've never cooked at home | Cambodian Beef Lok Lak | Marion's Kitchen

[@phatsmurf575]

OHMIGOSH!!!!! This is the one dish my husband ordered from a now closed restaurant. He was so sad. It's been at least 3 years since he had it. I'm going to surprise him with this when he gets back from work out of state. Yaaaaaaayyyy👏👏👏👏Thank youuuu!!!

[@springday5679]

If you live in down south California, you should take your husband to this Chinese/Khmer restaurant Royal Capital Seafood Restaurant address: 10911 Westminster Ave, Garden Grove, CA 92843. They have the best Beef Lok Lak, House special Lobster ($13.00 lb Live), and their vietnamese sour soup is the best. Every time we go there, those are the 3 main dishes we never missed to order. My husband loves Beef Lok Lak, we have travelled to many countries and cities, he always order Beef Lok Lak but no one makes it good as the Royal Seafood Restaurant.

I love Pepper Steak. This is The Absolute Best Pepper Steak Recipe. Thanks, Marion. By the way, I made a video of your Thai Spring Rolls and used your Coconut Sriracha sauce and the result was Outstanding.

Thank you 🙏😃

Hey Marion, I’m hugely late to the party in this but thanks for the representation. Just wanted to say there’s a number of versions but when my dad makes it, he adds fish sauce and some sugar and water to the dipping sauce. This is because the way it’s eaten is you take the lettuce, lay the beef, tomato (and in his version, a bit of fried omelette as well) then wrap it all up and dip in the sauce and just smash it in your mouth 🤣

[@BeauBodhi88]

@@Marionskitchen If the beef is thinly sliced mixed with French onions with a lots of sauce placed on a platter with sliced boiled eggs, lettuce and tomatoes, then it’s called “Bistec” which is a Cambodian dish influenced by Beef Stroganoff. These cubed version is Vietnamese.

Basmati is better

[@Crime_Lab]

I totally agree! An/ Or a bunch of butter lettuce leaves to make “tacos” with ( which is what I’m doing as I type 😄), so delicious. Admittedly, I had to make some adjustments ( only because I did not have the patience to go to more than one store ,for driving around SF is not so pleasant when you have a mission to make a dish, and a hunger, after a long work day, to satisfy. I had used soy, teriyaki (for sugar and viscosity, because the store did not have the sweet dark soy, or the oyster sauce for that matter, so I used fish sauce to approximate the flavor bouquet, so to speak) Anyway, with some adjustments and starving while cooking, the steak cubes turned out ridiculously good, thanks to the inspiration and a simple to follow set of preparation steps. 😉

Kampot pepper is the best, Kampot itself is an amazing place to visit for food and relaxation, a great sleepy riverside town, close to great beaches like Kep. You cannot substitute Kampot pepper for anything else.

[@dayswithsun2303]

[@sovannvicheasuon6173]

Reminds me much of my very own Cambodian househould. We even have the same mortar and pestle! Although we usually cut the beef into smaller cubes.

[@guitrich]

Thank you Marion for showcasing an oldie Khmer dish.

[@dinolun8929]

I'm cambodian and I got to say you did a wonderful rendition of Lok Lak. Awesome job!!

[@cathymccarthy5360]

That looks similar to Vietnamese Shaking Beef. It looks delicious and I can see online that Herbies sells Kampot pepper in Australia. Does it make any difference if the pepper in black or red? It looks amazing and I’ll definitely be trying that. 😊

[@Marionskitchen]

Cathy McCarthy The black Kampot pepper is usually used for this one but I like to experiment with lots of different peppers for this one. So totally give the red one a try...perhaps just taste a red peppercorn first because if it’s much stronger you might want to use less.

[@cathymccarthy5360]

Marion's Kitchen Good to know, thank you. I think the variety on Herbies was red, but I’ve seen black varieties online as well. 💕

[@ttriet.ngo153]

Cathy McCarthy Even the name Lok Lak is pronounced exactly as Lúc Lắc (meaning shaking) in Vietnamese hence the similarity of the 2 dishes. I believe the Vietnamese adopted this recipe from the Cambodian back then somehow!

[@cathymccarthy5360]

Triet Triet that’s interesting, thank you.

[@mahisnell3841]

Made this and used a combo of black and Sichuan pepper corns, and at the last minute added some halved mushrooms and now one of my hubby's faves! I like this one cuz it used stuff I always have in my pantry. Easy and so delicious! ( and cuz we are Chinese cultured ate it with rice)

[@krispykruzer]

Sichaun pepper would cover the Kampot pepper and just clash IMO

[@cocopen3415]

Could you do some vegetarian dishes as well. I salivate over all your recipes but cannot make most of them due to the meat.

Is sugar absolutely necessary in this (and most Asian) recipes? This looks incredibly delicious by the way, don't get me wrong. I'm just concerned that daily consumption of sugar-laden cooking might not be the healthiest or ust sustaiable diet. THANKS! - Asian Guy

[@TheScunneredMan]

Why di so many people like to destroy food tastes with hot pepper flavours. I had version, NOT using Recommended ones, but ordinary black peppers. I don't like these hot Bangladeshi curries either. Is it a macho (can apply to females here too) thing to just taste heat, but not get any flavour. Sorry flavour comes first with me

Looks yummy i will definitely try this one thanks Marion , quick one can you do a shrimp and chicken curry laksa if you can please make a simple laksa coz here in Europe cant get the complete ingredients thanks a million I've been watching your cooking show last time 😊

[@invinoveritas6859]

Ummmmmm uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh !!! Look so delicious !!! You really outdone yourself this time Marion !!! ;)))))

[@paradigmshift7541]

Cambodian Lok Lak is supposed to be made with beef cut into strips. Vietnamese Loc Lac is supposed to be diced, you essentially reversed the recipes and cooking. The Vietnamese dish typically has the char and seer of what you made here; your video on Vietnamese Shaking Beef mirrors more accurately what is Cambodian Lok Lak. For someone with such a big channel, this is a big disservice to cook aficionados. A simple google of each dish easily shows this. Sorry for the harsh critique just wanted to highlight for accuracy. This is a great recipe tho, absolutely great for anyone unfamiliar or even familiar with this dish.

[@xKaoKaox]

Bo Luc Lac is what it's called in Vietnamese 👍🏻

[@lady1nisa]

I'm gonna make this on Friday night and the spicy garlic shrimp for Saturday's lunch!

[@krispykruzer]

I don’t think her description of Kampot is correct me To me Kampot pepper is way spicier and pungent It’s like regular pepper on steroids

sorry to knock u off ur happiness but this is really not a cambodian lok lak close ill give u that but who ever told u that a cambodian lok lak is that dry there wrong but everything else is correct.But keep up the good work........

Canaan Perry it’s pretty much the same thing but, the dip is what brings this dish to a whole other level! When made right, the dish has a nice balance of savory, salty, slightly sweet, tangy (from the dip) and peppery. It’s quick, easy and delicious!

Lok Lak = Lúc Lắc (in Vietnamese) = Shaking beef Interesting how the name was retained in the Cambodian version of the dish

EdocsilM it’s one of those unique dishes that both neighboring countries share, I am sure you had Khmer version of rice noodles, kuy teav or hu tieu nam vang

[@thumtlnguyen3626]

@@dssin Hu Tieu is actually a Chinese dish invented in Pnong Penh by Chinese immigrants. That's why the name "Nam Vang" which is Pnong Penh in Vietnamese. Normally the original name is retained like Vietnamese Bánh Xèo which is called "Banh Chiao or Banh Chev" in Cambodia.

Thank you so much very good recipe

[@kimboslice1185]

My Cambodian mother made this all the time. Growing up in my household, Lok Lak was known amongst my brothers as the "bunless" hamburger or no carb burger lol. The simplicity of the salt, pepper, and lemon juice may seem off-putting to some, but combined with the lettuce wrap of steak/onions/ and tomatoes, you need the acidity to cut through the richness of the steak (whether it's a really fatty steak like rib eye, or the marbling content is phenomenal). I think Lok Lak is definitely a "safe" or "entry" option for people wanting to get involved with Cambodian food and I encourage all those who haven't tried it to do so. Maybe some ya'll will work your way up to eating prahok. Who knows. Overall, I'm glad you put this recipe on Marion. We appreciate you.

[@sammyhien9338]

Love your recipes Marion. I live in the United States and the cambodian campot pepper is very expensive. I looked on Amazon and there are red peppers, green peppers they are a bit less expensive. Would love to know if the colored peppers would give the same results as the black peppers? If anyone knows the answer to this I would greatly appreciate any information on this that I can get. Thanks Shelley
