Thịt bò nướng lá lốt

Thịt bò nướng lá lốt, or simply bò nướng lá lốt, is a cherished traditional Vietnamese dish that features savory beef wrapped in aromatic lolot leaves. These leaves, often referred to as "betel" leaves in English, impart a distinctive spicy and slightly medicinal flavor to the dish. A favorite at barbecues, it frequently serves as the fifth course in the elaborate seven-course meal known as Bò 7 món.

In Northern Vietnam, a delicious variation known as chả lá lốt substitutes pork for beef and is typically pan-fried rather than grilled. In Southern Vietnam, the same versatile lolot leaves are known as lá lốp. Whether grilled or pan-fried, with beef or pork, this dish is a culinary delight sure to tantalize your taste buds.
