Thịt bò nướng lá lốt

Thịt bò nướng lá lốt ("grilled beef, in betel leaf") or thịt bò lá lốt ("beef, leaf of betel"), bò nướng lá lốt is a dish consisting of Vietnamese beef in lolot leaves, which are called "betel" leaves by some English magazines. Beef fillet is minced and mixed with spice and two types of orange, green cam sành and sweeter cam mật.[1] The leaves smell spicy but have a medicinal taste.[2] The food is often served or sold at barbecues.[3]

In Southern Vietnam, the lolot leaf is also called "Lá lốp".
