Holy Basil Beef

This is one of my favorite 10 minute Thai stir fry dishes. It is a delicious, simple dish with an easy to adjust heat level. While it is definitely better with Holy Basil, it is still quite tasty if you substitute with regular thai basil.
Preparation Time:
0.25 hours

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 12 ounces lean steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 4 fresh Thai chiles, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 20 Holy Basil leaves
Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat your wok over high heat. When you can add a drop of water and it dances around, add the oil.
  2. Once the oil heats up, stir-fry the garlic and the beef for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and contiue stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes
