Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef)

Bo luc lac literally translated is beef shaking. The luc lac refers to the “shaking” that occurs when the beef gets tossed in the wok. While most Americans would eat beef in the form of a big steak, most Asians use meat to flavor vegetables and eat it with rice. So take that big steak, dice it, and you’ll get this plate of bo luc lac.
