Thai basil beef

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 tablespoons Peanut oil
3 Cloves garlic
3 Jalapeno peppers (yes, really 3!)
1 large Green bell pepper
1 pounds Beef steak
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
¼ teaspoon Ground white pepper
½ cup Chopped fresh basil OR-
1 tablespoon Dried basil is a weak substitute, but will work

Directions

Peel and chop garlic. Seed jalapenos and remove membrane. Slice. Cut green pepper into thin slices. Beef should be thinly slice across the grain.

Heat wok and add the oil and garlic. Chow for a very brief moment.

Then add the peppers, chow for a few minutes. Next add meat. Chow again for just a couple of minutes so that the meat sears to medium rare.

Quickly add the remaining ingredients and toss for a moment.

Serve with thin noodles or rice. 2 generous serving.
