Make a quick and delicious Thai stir-fry with beef and basil. This recipe is faster than takeout and perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 Thai chilies, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Toss to coat and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add the marinated beef to the hot wok and stir-fry until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sliced Thai chilies (if using) to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the wok. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the browned beef to the wok. Add the fresh Thai basil leaves and toss everything together for about 1 minute, until the basil is just wilted.
  7. Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the flank steak against the grain.
  • Adjust the amount of Thai chilies to your preference for spice.
  • If you can’t find Thai basil, regular basil can be used, but the flavor will be different.
