Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 shallots (, thinly sliced)
- 7 cloves garlic (, sliced)
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (, minced)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (, thinly sliced)
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce*
- 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons oyster sauce*
- 2 Tbsp Asian garlic chili paste (, more or less to taste, for heat*)
- 1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup basil leaves**
- Cooked Jasmine rice (, for serving)
Instruction
- In a wok or large skillet over medium high heat add the oil, shallots, garlic, ginger and bell peppers and fry for 3 minutes.
- Push the veggies off to the side. Turn the heat to high and add the ground beef, breaking it up into small bits with a spoon. (I like to spoon the cooked ground beef into my food processor and pulse it barely a few times to break it into really small pieces).
- In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, cornstarch, beef broth and water and add to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted.
- Serve over hot cooked rice.
