Sour Thai Style Beef
This was a quick dish that I could stick on to cook whilst I did a million and one things one evening. It’s a bastardization of flavours and cuisines, but it’s tasty in your face.
You will need
- Stewing beef. I had 250g
- Heaped teaspoon of lazy ginger
- Level teaspoon of lazy garlic
- Juice of half a fat lemon
- Heaped teaspoon of tomato puree
- Half a mug of water
- teaspoon of oil
- Slug of soy
- Slug of fish sauce
- A couple of hot chillis (I used some dried birdeye I had)
Do
This produces shredded beef which you can then do things with. I just stuffed mine into a pita bread with salad and a smear of sharp yogurt.
- Sizzle the garlic and ginger with the oil in a pan for a minute
- Whack the beef in and give it all a good stir. Sizzle on a reasonabele heat for a few minutes
- Add the rest of the ingrediants, bring to the boil
- Reduce the heat so the liquid is just bubbling, pop a lid on and leave for half an hour stirring occasionally
- Turn off the heat an leave to sit for 20 minutes (the beef is much tenderer because of this)
- Chop or shred the meat and do something with it
Results
Sharp, pungent, powerful and tremendous in things. You’d not want a whole plate of this but as a filling it’s great. Lack of process photos because I wasn’t going to write this up
