Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- Fresh herbs for garnish (cilantro, mint)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help the beef cook quickly and evenly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well mixed. This will be your marinade for the beef.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that all pieces are well coated. Let the beef marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature. This will enhance the flavors of the meat.
- While the beef is marinating, prepare your cooking surface. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot before adding any oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, add a tablespoon of oil (you can use vegetable oil or any neutral oil). Swirl the oil around to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Carefully add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook it in batches if your skillet isn't large enough.
- Cook the beef for about 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to sear and develop a nice crust. After that, stir the beef and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until it is cooked through and browned.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a serving platter. Allow it to rest for a minute.
- Garnish the beef with fresh herbs such as cilantro and mint. These herbs will add a burst of freshness to the dish.
- Serve the "Thailande Les Larmes du Tigre" hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: For the best results, use tender cuts of beef like sirloin or ribeye. Thinly slicing the beef against the grain will ensure it remains tender after cooking.
- Marinate for Flavor: Don’t rush the marinating process! Allowing the beef to soak in the marinade for at least 10 minutes at room temperature will enhance its flavor and tenderness.
- High Heat is Key: When cooking, ensure your skillet or wok is hot before adding the oil and beef. This will help achieve a beautiful sear, locking in juices and flavor.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cook the beef in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan can lower the temperature and steam the meat instead of searing it, preventing that delicious crust from forming.
- Fresh Herbs for Garnish: Don’t skip the garnish! Fresh cilantro and mint not only add a pop of color but also elevate the dish with their aromatic freshness.
- Serve with Sides: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or a refreshing salad, balancing the rich flavors of the beef.
