HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, combine the beef sirloin, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well and marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

03

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs from the skillet.

04

Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes on two serving plates. Top each plate with half of the cooked jasmine rice.

05

Divide the cooked beef evenly between the two plates, placing it over the rice and vegetables.

06

Place one fried egg on top of the beef on each plate.

07

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and salt to create the dipping sauce. Serve the Cambodian Beef Lok Lak immediately with the lime dipping sauce on the side.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. You can also add sliced onions or bell peppers to the stir-fry for more vegetables. Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the beef to get a good sear.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Chicken or pork can be used instead of beef. Brown rice or quinoa can replace jasmine rice. For a vegetarian option, use firm tofu or tempeh, pressed and cubed, and marinate similarly.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover beef and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the beef gently in a skillet and fry a fresh egg for best results. The lettuce and tomatoes are best consumed fresh.
