Vietnamese shaking beef b l c l c
Bò Lúc Lắc (Sauté Diced Beef) is a cubed beef sauteed with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, pepper, and soy sauce dish in French-inspired Vietnamese cuisine. The name derived from the shape of the beef, which is cut into small cubes the size of playing dice (hột lúc lắc) before being sauteed. Beef used to be a luxury ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine, therefore the dish is mostly served in formal events, such as wedding banquet and anniversaries. In the USA this dish is often called "shaking beef", which does not follow from the Vietnamese name of the dish, but purportedly refers to part of the cooking process.
