Allergens

Soy, Fish

Ingredients

  • 8 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos for gluten
  • free)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 cups steamed mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef sirloin with soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. While the beef is marinating, steam your mixed vegetables until they are tender but still have some bite. Set aside.
  3. In a large pan or wok over medium high heat, add coconut oil. Sauté the marinated beef until cooked through and slightly charred, about 4 5 minutes.
  4. To serve, place a portion of steamed vegetables on a plate, top with the cooked beef, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Chef’s Insight

To add a touch of spice, include thinly sliced red chili peppers in the marinade or sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top of the dish before serving.

Notes

To enhance the aroma and flavor, consider using beef tenderloin instead of sirloin for an even more tender result.

Cultural or Historical Background

Beef Lok Lak is a popular Cambodian dish that combines tender beef with a tangy, slightly sweet sauce, typically served with rice. This keto-friendly version replaces the rice with steamed vegetables for a lower carb option.
