Thai meat

Thai meat is a favorite in our latitudes, already a very famous dish. And the more it becomes popular, the more it becomes overgrown with small-town additives and absurdities, in the form of dill, pickles and the like. My version is also not a fountain of authenticity, but as close as possible to the real recipe.

The main thing for this dish is high-quality meat, better tenderloin, without fail - garlic, onion, ginger, soy sauce, hot pepper (without it, this is not Thai meat) and seasonal vegetables.

When we ordered this meat in a Thai restaurant, it was always brought to us with white cabbage leaves, green broccoli inflorescences, young baby corn cobs (sometimes), sweet and hot peppers. Today I have a winter version. I apologize for Korean-style carrots, it’s just that at the time of preparation there were no ordinary carrots in the house, but you can omit it altogether and not add it. If it is possible to buy fresh ginger, then it is better to take it, but ground ginger will also work.

The dish is spicy, even flaming. The only thing that is permissible is to reduce the severity of the heat by reducing the amount of hot pepper. More starch... Don't confuse Thai meat with Chinese meat, this is where starch is always added, but in order not to deviate from "local traditions", I decided to use it minimally, only lightly sprinkling beef. Starch can and should be omitted, but it gives shine to the finished dish so well.

Ингредиенты

Beef tenderloin - 350 g

Onion - 2 pcs.

Garlic - 3 cloves

Carrot - 1 pc.

Cabbage - 40 g

Sweet pepper - 1 pc.

Tomato - 1 pc.

Sesame oil - 3 tbsp.

Sunflower oil - 2 tbsp.

Oyster sauce - 1 tsp

Chili sauce - 1 tsp

Soy sauce - 3 tbsp.

Starch - 0.5 tsp

Sesame - 1 tsp

Sugar - 1 tsp

Dry ginger - 1 tsp

Paprika slices - 1 tsp

cilantro - a few sprigs

Рецепт

1. Cut the beef into narrow thin pieces, such as straws.

2. Pour the meat with soy sauce, add a spoonful of sesame oil, sugar, a teaspoon of hot chili sauce, mix with your hands and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. If the soy sauce is not very salty, add salt to the meat. Here I lightly sprinkled the meat with starch, less than a teaspoon, succumbed, so to speak, to general insanity. You can add lemon juice to the marinade, then the meat turns out sour.

3. In the meantime, prepare all the vegetables. Cut the onion into feathers, garlic into slices, sweet pepper into long slices, tomato into slices, hot pepper into thin rings, cabbage into squares. Since roasting will happen quickly, everything should be at hand.

4. Warm up the mixture of sesame and vegetable oils well. Remove the meat from the marinade and quickly fry until the liquid has completely evaporated. Add hot pepper.

5. Then add the onion and garlic. Stirring all the time, cook over medium heat until the onion fluffs up, about a minute.

6. Sprinkle with dry ginger. Fresh ginger is added along with onions and garlic.

7. Add pepper and cabbage. Fry for another one to two minutes, the pepper should remain crispy.

8. And lastly, tomato and carrots are added. If the carrots are fresh, add them early - along with pepper. Stir a couple of times and remove from heat.

9. Put the meat in Thai style on a dish, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

10. Serve with rice or noodles.

11. It is very tasty and spicy, beyond words. Help yourself!
