Shaking beef aka Bo luc lac is a quick Vietnamese stir fry recipe. This may not be the authentic way of making this dish, but this is my way. This is a quick dish that you can whip up- marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes (or longer) and stir fry until your liking. I stir fried mine until my beef was medium rare. A one pot dish that your family and friends will love!
