How To Cook Thai Beef with Basil
Thai Beef with Basil - So, I've been slowly working ground beef into the rotation. Casey appreciates it and Cooper will eat it (only if I say it's steak).
I made this Thai Beef with Basil dish from Bon Appetite for dinner on Saturday and it went over really well. Of course, I had to pick out the basil and seperate the carrots on Cooper’s dish, but he gobbled it up like a champ. Casey said it was a winner.
I think it will probably be apart of our weeknight dinner rotation. It’s pretty easy to whip up and I didn't even hate breaking up the beef. The point is to have a nice char on the meat, so it's kind of a set it and forget it situation. You can break it up really well towards the end.
I used to think Thai food was not an easy cuisine to master. The flavor balance and the availability of Thai ingredients was not always easy to achieve. But, for living in SE Asian country, I can’t be more happier than getting everything I need to make good Thai dishes.
Here is one of the simplest and the most delicious Thai beef recipe; Thai Beef and Basil Stir-Fry. I LOVE Thai basil. It is very fragrant herb and a must for Thai cuisine. It is worth the trip to a specialty Asian grocery store to get this gorgeous herb if you can. However if you can’t find it, use any local basil. The fragrance will be a little different but still makes flavorful dish on its own.
