Siem Reap's version of the classic Lok Lak adds a distinctive palm sugar caramelization to the beef and incorporates more fresh herbs than the Phnom Penh version. The meat is marinated longer and often includes local wild pepper varieties. Some restaurants add a tamarind undertone to the dipping sauce, giving it a slightly different character from the capital's more straightforward preparation.
