Shaking Beef (Bo Luc Lac)

Bo Luc Lac literally translates to shaking beef. They shaking refers to how you move the pan once the tomatoes are added. This recipe couldn’t be easier to prepare. You want to make sure that you choose a tender enough steak when preparing this. Ribeye, NY strip, or top sirloin all will work well. 
When adding the steak to a hot pan, make sure to not move it. You want the meat to sear on one side well before you stir it. I know it’s tempting to not touch. DON’T TOUCH IT! Once you add the tomatoes, let the beef shaking begin.
