Grilled Beef in Wild Betel Leaf Recipe (Thit Bo Nuong La Lot)

Grilled Beef in Wild Betel Leaf Recipe (Thit Bo Nuong La Lot) | The Asian Food Gazette. | Scoop.it
Memorial Day weekend kicks off the grilling season for many Americans, and while I grilled my share of pork ribs last weekend, I also made grilled beef in wild betel leaf.

When the rolls are cooking, the perfume of the leaves, called la lot (“lah loht”) in Vietnamese, mesmerizes. The fragrance is uncommon and distinctive. You know it when you smell it. Wild betel leaves are botanically Piper sarmentosum. They are NOT the same as the thick, large, dull betel leaves chewed on as a stimulant; those are botanically Piper betle. If you've purchased the stimulating leaves, know that I have shared in your mistake. Laug
