Memory Lane
Everyone in my family loves this dish. In Cambodia, whenever my mother made this dish, she did not have any other dishes on the table. It was just a large serving platter of Lok Lak in the middle of the round table. Each of us would have a plate of steamed rice in front of us, and reaching over for the main dish. Lok Lak is one of the dishes that I would kneeled on the chair to boost myself taller so I can have a fair chance among my siblings to reach this tasty steak over crunchy and juicy vegetables. Living in Lincoln Nebraska in the late 70’s there was no red leaf lettuce available. Iceberg lettuce just did not do justice to this amazing dish. However, Mom would prepare Lok Lok with hard boiled potatoes, cooked green bean, hard boiled eggs and topped with the Nebraska beef and lemon dressing. It was not the same as the original recipe, but it was as tasty and made perfect leftovers to pack for lunch. * Substitutions:
