This dish was absolutely amazing, the smell when the beef was cooking made us salivate, we couldn't wait to tuck in... the wait was worth it..the taste was so good it made you want more.. and more.. Many thanks 🙏 we're so looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
Awesome dish I tried it last night got home from work cut the beef (fillet steak) did the marinade and by the time I had a shower it was ready to cook love these fast recipes this is my new favourite dish
OMG ... I have been following you like forever but didn't know you can pronounce Vietnamese very well ... actually better than me lol. Thank you so much for sharing the world Vietnamese Shaken Beef! Bò Lúc Lắc is our family favorite because it touches our soul, is simple to make, and is super yummy to eat. We normally eat our shaken beef with steamed rice and cucumber tomato lettuce (or tomato water crest) with honey vinaigrette so our shaken beef usually loaded with sauce. When I was living in California, I only used Rib Eyes or Filet Mignon. But now I live in the Midwest of Wisconsin, even the Flat Iron Steak will taste out of this world for this dish. Shaken Beef is a French influence dish so we like to marinate it with minced shallots, minced garlic, and crackled black pepper. There is no need for the black soy sauce either because on the hot wok, the beef will be seared with beautiful color. As for us, we don't put one by one cube in, we just add that whole bowl (since your portion is not that much) into the hot wok along with oil and butter and start stirring like mad ;-) for a few minutes then follow that with shaken the wok.
Pickled red onion is one of those super simple things you can have on hand to brighten anything. I just made a quick little single serve coke slaw for my husbands BBQ pulled pork sandwich and remembered I also had pickled red onions. Both those things really elevate a fatty sandwich filling like pulled pork.
@cHemon, @Heleninzki: But *the tone variations in Vietnamese and Thai* are still *different between each other* ; it's like *overlapping two separate musical scales* and saying : "oh, all musicians must be good at all music!" *Thai and Vietnamese speakers would never mistake each others' languages* , yet *Cantonese has elements that sound like both.*
Delicious Vietnamese Beef Recipe, very delicious Pailin, you are definitely a Master Chef, you get a like from me! Keep up the good work girl, I can see why you have over 50 million views and almost 6000,000 subscribers, congratulations to you on that as well!!
Nice dish with shaking...Love the tender that you got there. we went to Oregon and there were one restaurant call bo luc lac there, it's crazy crowded but it was good.
I just made this with boneless pork ribs and added half an onion sliced largely. It was so delicious! I put it on top of rice and... ambrosian!~ Thanks Pailin
I love your recipe. I've made it 4 times and my family eats it up. Besides the rice, I eat it with cilantro. Add a bit of Sriracha, and you have an incredible meal
i was eating while listening to this and had to look up when you said bo luc lac, you pronounced it perfectly! when i hear thai sometimes i feel like it's similar to vietnamese
My favorite dish my mother in law makes! I’ve ordered this at restaurants but they are all so different . Sometimes they serve it with French fries. Another time it tasted like a Lao beef jerky
This is one of my favourite things to eat, but I've never been able to make it as well as they make it in the restaurants. The fact that you used to cook it in a restaurant gives me hope. I'm going to try your way and see what happens.
Hi Pai! Thanks for another great recipe! Your pronunciation is really good by the way. For the marinade, my mom taught me to add a little bit of "húng lìu", a flavoring powder (a mix of chinese cinnamon, sweet basil seeds, star anise, cloves, amomum tsao-ko, and some other spices), which is not easily found in other countries and can be substituted by Five Spice powder. It makes the dish very distinctive just by the smell :)
Hi Pailin Do you have any dishes cook with pickle garlic. I went to a Thai restaurant in Toronto and my friend ordered a stirred fry dish with pork and pickle garlic. I had a bite and it was delish but do not know the name of the dish. It was really good, the pickle garlic has a very nice flavour and it was very different as well. If you do, love to see it from you.
"Bò (beef) lúc lắc (shaking)" hahaha P'Pai said really Vietnamese tone, surprised! The other recipe comes with a lot of onion, bell pepper (yellow, red and green) cut into cubes is also very popular in Saigon. P'Pai, why should we have marinated with oyster sauce? Love the way you cook
Yup the most popular or probably all the bò lúc lắc in Saigon has onion, bell pepper and fries. In fact I think that is the best combo to eat with this beef tbh. Just beef, veggies, and fries. That's a perfect Saturday night for me. And the marinate has oyster sauce in it because oyster sauce gives much more depth and complexity. Since most of Western refrain from using MSG (originally the Vietnamese recipe adds in teaspoons of MSG and what we would call "gia vị", I still don't know exactly what it is but we still use it a lot lol), adding oyster sauce brings out the sweetness in veggies and beef, also it colors the beef when cooked. And yeah, oyster sauce is good with any kind of stir fry, obviously.
Just found out about this recipe. So similar to Filipino the recipe for beef salpicao. Instead of fish sauce, we use Worcestershire sauce though. I think same purpose, because Worcestershire sauce (which comes from fermented anchovies) provides the Umami component. Please check it out and maybe even make a video of it!
Hi pai i have a question on how to get rid of the garlic smell on your fingers after touching garlic. I love cooking with garlic but i hate how the smell lingers for days on your hands!!
Stainless steel soap from Target in their kitchen dept. Rubbing your hands on it will transfer the transfer the garlic ,onion smell to the soap. I use it as needed.
But if i want well done beef i have to keep it more on fire? how long? coz i know that beef gonna be less soft but how to make it soft and tender but well done?
Great recipe! One question about the proportions listed on your website; how would you scale this up if you wanted to double or quadruple the beef? 250g beef seems more like portions for 1-2 people, not four.

Why don’t you put some salt?
Your accurate Vietnamese pronunciation of the dish makes me smile! Thank you for respecting our culture.
An old classic. In Cambodia, we had a modified version of Luc Lac. We put a fried egg on top of the rice. It takes the dish into another dimension. :)
You pronouced Bò Lúc Lắc easily so naturally just like a Vietnamese 😍💗
I made it tonight. It was like OMG at the first bite. It is so easy and amazingly good. The red onion pickles is a must.
This dish was absolutely amazing, the smell when the beef was cooking made us salivate, we couldn't wait to tuck in... the wait was worth it..the taste was so good it made you want more.. and more.. Many thanks 🙏 we're so looking forward to trying more of your recipes.

One of my all time fav Vietnamese dishes! Thx for sharing!

Omg yesterday i was looking for this recipe, and today here it is by the best UA-camr thank you so much!!! :D
One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes to make because it’s so simple but iconic!
Your pronunciation is so on point that you sound like a Vietnamese!
Thai is also a tonal language, so it's not too difficult for Thai speakers to get it right when pronounce Vietnamese words, ;)
That wasn't too difficult to pronounce tbh
Thai and vietnamese sound very similar to me.
@cHemon, @Heleninzki: But *the tone variations in Vietnamese and Thai* are still *different between each other* ; it's like *overlapping two separate musical scales* and saying : "oh, all musicians must be good at all music!"
*Thai and Vietnamese speakers would never mistake each others' languages* , yet *Cantonese has elements that sound like both.*
@Kiet Pham: But what's more important, she indeed she it perfectly!
I just made it and it's quite nice. In case anyone's wondering, the beef tastes like most other stir fried beef dishes such as beef and broccoli.
My family used to go eat this all the time when I was a child. Brings back so many memories!
Your Vietnamese pronounciation is so good, Pai.
This is my second favorite dish! Thank you, thank you!!! I love your channel!!!!
I used to eat this alot when I was in Vietnam. Btw, your Vietnamese pronunciation was spot on!

I made this for my partner and I tonight served with mustard greens and wasabi mayonnaise on the side, thanks for another great video ❤️
I am litterally in ThaiLan rightnow after years of being a fan of your channel. And on this day you're making Vietnamese food haha
You are such a pleasure to watch! I love all the helpful little tips you added throughout!
Yay a vietnamese dish! With perfect pronunciation
I just made this with boneless pork ribs and added half an onion sliced largely. It was so delicious! I put it on top of rice and... ambrosian!~ Thanks Pailin
Looks wonderful the way you do it. BTW I recently saw your new kitchen -- congratulations! It looks marvelous!
My girlfriend, who is NOT a meat eater has asked me to make this TWO NIGHT'S IN A ROW!!! DEEEEELISCIOUS!!!!
Fantastic. I'm happy that you do many recipes from different cultures. That's very delicious looking good recipe 👏😀
Omg I love this recipe!!! I would like to see more Vietnamese recipes in the future!
I love your recipe. I've made it 4 times and my family eats it up. Besides the rice, I eat it with cilantro. Add a bit of Sriracha, and you have an incredible meal
i was eating while listening to this and had to look up when you said bo luc lac, you pronounced it perfectly! when i hear thai sometimes i feel like it's similar to vietnamese
What a delicious and simple recipe. The whole family loved it.
Usually the tomatoes are served raw, but the cooked cherry tomatoes sounds like it adds even more umami - I'll give it a try :)
My favorite dish my mother in law makes! I’ve ordered this at restaurants but they are all so different . Sometimes they serve it with French fries. Another time it tasted like a Lao beef jerky
Pailin,
Love your recipes for the fast simple dinner. I think I’ll try this marinade on pork chops and grill them.
There should be no surprise that Pailin's pronunciation is perfect, because Thai has even more tones than Vietnamese! :)
The best bo luc lac I’ve ever had was in San Francisco at 6th and Mission, a little restaurant called Miss Saigon. So good!!
Wow! She can speak any language she wants with the exact pronunciation; She is the epitome of brilliance! Her voice is like music to my ears. Lovely!
Hi from India, this recipe is absolutely amazing... didn’t even need a dipping sauce or any rice!! Thanks...
The smell of My midnight snack also happened to wake up my wife to a happy few bites.
this deserves going viral
This is one of my favourite things to eat, but I've never been able to make it as well as they make it in the restaurants. The fact that you used to cook it in a restaurant gives me hope. I'm going to try your way and see what happens.
Oh looks so good!! Gonna make it this weekend. Thank you 😊

Hi Pailin
Do you have any dishes cook with pickle garlic. I went to a Thai restaurant in Toronto and my friend ordered a stirred fry dish with pork and pickle garlic. I had a bite and it was delish but do not know the name of the dish. It was really good, the pickle garlic has a very nice flavour and it was very different as well.
If you do, love to see it from you.
"Bò (beef) lúc lắc (shaking)" hahaha P'Pai said really Vietnamese tone, surprised!
The other recipe comes with a lot of onion, bell pepper (yellow, red and green) cut into cubes is also very popular in Saigon.
P'Pai, why should we have marinated with oyster sauce?
Love the way you cook
My mom cooked this with oyster sauce as well. Everything that is stir fried is good with oyster sauce.
Yup the most popular or probably all the bò lúc lắc in Saigon has onion, bell pepper and fries. In fact I think that is the best combo to eat with this beef tbh. Just beef, veggies, and fries. That's a perfect Saturday night for me.

More tha one ways to cook bo luc lac bro.😀
I love this lady. She always have good stuff.
The perfect recipe I was looking for. Thanks 😊
Oh I make this for my dinner tonight.
you r the best. my fave youtue cook
In Cambodia we have almost same dish call Loc Lac. Same recipe but we eat with rice and fried egg.
Fried egg makes everything better!
Yep! Khmer Loc Lac is good stuff. More sauce and more onions, but the beef always seems to be well done.
This is more like the cambodian version. Vietnamese people don't really use the lime pepper sauce (teuk mrech).
That looks sooooo tasty.... Now I'm hungry.
Great review 👍🏼😋
Wow, " bò lúc lắc ". Did she just say that? I'm amazed.
Wow. Glad i found this channel. She is very entertaining with cooking. Sub’d

Stainless steel soap from Target in their kitchen dept. Rubbing your hands on it will transfer the transfer the garlic ,onion smell to the soap. I use it as needed.
Yeah the stainless steel soap works but I just wash my hands with regular soap often during cooking and it doesn't seem to be a problem for me.
Thank you!!!
Hi,this dish looks delicious.do you use light soy sauce or the dark soy sauce in your recipe.regards Chris
Thank you!
Beautiful!
But if i want well done beef i have to keep it more on fire? how long? coz i know that beef gonna be less soft but how to make it soft and tender but well done?
1-2 minutes longer should do it.
Wow...amazing once u said " bo luc lac"...😍😍😍😍😍..that would be perfect for me to serve it with tomato fried rice 😄
itis really happy when watching this cooking
Oh god ! Your "bò lúc lắc" is pronounced so correctly. :'>
Love u Pai !
Great recipe! One question about the proportions listed on your website; how would you scale this up if you wanted to double or quadruple the beef?
250g beef seems more like portions for 1-2 people, not four.
U are more irresistable than the wok dish but i love beef too! hehe cucumbers would be great addition as well.
