Description

A traditional Thai dish that can be as mild or spicy as you like! With kitchen standards like ground beef, a red onion and rice, this recipe is easy and inexpensive. Fresh mint, lime juice and Thai flavors make it exotic and exciting!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cooked Rice
  • 1 bunch Fresh Mint, Rinsed, Stemmed And Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 4 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Sauce (start With 1 Teaspoon And Add From There)
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 whole Red Onion, Sliced Against The Grain (or Six Medium Shallots, Sliced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper (optional For Those Who Like Things Really Spicy)
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef

Preparation

Prepare enough rice for 4 servings, using the package instructions.

Wash, stem and chop mint. Mix the sugar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and sriracha sauce in a bowl.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Slice onions and brown onions hot and fast with the vegetable oil. Once onions have turned translucent and start to brown add garlic and cayenne pepper for the last minute of cooking. Remove onions from the skillet and add the meat into the skillet. After it’s partially cooked add the sauce mix and cook until the meat is finished cooking. Add the onions into the skillet with the meat and then add the mint.

Serve with rice and green beans or another favorite veggie. Make sure to have sriracha sauce at the table so people can spice their meal to taste.

This recipe is very easy to make, and delicious. I added the rice right into the skillet once the meat was done, as my family is always in need of pre-portioned leftovers. A great “break away” from the traditional Italian spice-inspired skillet meal!

This is soo good! I substituted coconut crystals for the sugar the second time and couldn’t tell the difference.
