Thai Basil Beef

Thai style candied beef with white rice

Procedure

In a small bowl combine chili paste, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and lime juice until incorporated, set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring often, about 6 minutes. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the beef and cook until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.

Pour the sauce mixture along with the fresh basil (reserving a fresh few leaves for the top) and continue cooking until basil starts to wilt. Serve over rice topped with fresh basil and fresh cilantro

Enjoy!

Note: If using low sodium soy sauce, add 1/2tsp salt to ground beef.
