Ingredients
Sauce:
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce 🥢
2 tablespoons fish sauce 🐟
2 tablespoons brown sugar 🍬
1 tablespoon oyster sauce 🦪
1 tablespoon lime juice 🍋
1/2 tsp EACH ground coriander, ground ginger, white pepper (may sub ¼ tsp black pepper) 🌿
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce like Sambal Oelek (use more to taste if not using jalapeno/serrano peppers) 🌶️
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 🌰
1 teaspoon cornstarch 🌽
Stir Fry:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil 🛢️
1 pound lean ground beef 🥩
6 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1–2 jalapenos or serrano chili peppers, sliced (see notes) 🌶️
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced 🧅
1 small bell pepper, sliced 🌶️
1 cup Thai basil leaves, picked off the stem (may sub regular basil) 🌿
Instructions
1️⃣ Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. 🍲
2️⃣ Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. 🔥
3️⃣ Once the oil is hot and rippling, add the ground beef. Break up the beef a little, then flatten it against the pan; cook undisturbed for about 45 seconds. The beef will start to sear. Turn over once, press flat against the pan, and cook for another 30 seconds. Then, crumble the meat into small pieces while cooking. Drain excess grease. (The beef will not be all the way cooked through at this point.) 🥄
4️⃣ Stir in the onion, bell pepper, chilies, and garlic, and stir fry for 2 minutes. 🍛
5️⃣ Give the sauce a stir to recombine, then add it to the skillet; stir fry for another 2 minutes. 🍲
6️⃣ Add the basil and cook until the beef is thoroughly cooked and onions are slightly tender or tender to your liking. Serve over rice with additional chili sauce, peppers, or lime if desired. 🍚🌶️🍋
