Thai Basil Beef Fries
If you love Thai’s classic stir-fried beef with basil, then you’ll definitely love them with hot, crispy fries! Spicy, sweet, and fragrant–so irresistible!
Preparation Instructions:
Step 1
Prepare Simplot fries according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2
In a mortar and pestle, pound bird’s eye chilies into a fine paste. Add garlic and stir in the mild red chilies, creating a rough paste.
Step 3
Heat a large work or skillet over high heat with some oil. Add ground beef and cook until brown. Keep stirring until all excess liquid is evaporated, leaving only beef fat. Stir and toss until the beef is evenly brown and flavorful.
Step 4
Turn the heat to medium and add about 1 tbsp of oil, pushing the beef to the side. Saute the chili mixture in the oil for about 10-20 seconds until aromatic. Then, toss it together with the ground beef on high heat.
Step 5
In this stage, add in stock, fish sauce, and sugar. If the mixture is too dry, add more stock or water. Adjust to taste.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and stir in basil leaves.
Step 7
To serve, place warm fries on a serving dish and generously top them off with the beef stir-fry. Enjoy!
