LAAB - THAI GROUND BEEF SALAD

Wonderful fast summer or anytime meal that comes together quickly once you have your ingredients prepped. Mise en place very helpful with this dish. From Taste of Thai - thank you! Use a nice butter lettuce for this - core the head & rinse the leaves well. Dry & have plenty available - use 2 heads if they seem small - 1 per serving! I entered 12 leaves simply because the program required a number - we just keep a couple of heads available when we make this.

Provided by polledl

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 lbs of Grass-fed ground beef
3 tbsp coconut oil
2 1/2 bell peppers (we like a green and some red or orange for color)
1 pinch sea salt (be conservative and add it last)
3 - 4 Thai chili or Serano peppers (depends how spicy you like it; we eat Thai spicy, Joe knows )
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 big stalks of fresh Thai basil, regular works too
5 tbsp Thai fish sauce
1 tsp Coconut Crystals

Steps:

Use a large 3 quart pan or wok and brown onions until golden in coconut oil, add chopped chili peppers (seeds in) and sliced bell peppers. Use medium - high heat. Continue to cook until it's all glossy and gorgeous, then add ground beef and stir in well. If you like bigger chunks you will not need to stir so much. Now add fish sauce and coconut crystals, stir well and add basil when the beef is no longer pink. We just rip the basil and toss it in. Let is simmer on ultra-low for 10 minutes and serve with some Cauliflower rice. Truly amazing and the whole thing will take you less than 30 minutes to prepare and cook! Enjoy and let us know what you think. J & H

Tips:

Choose the right ground beef: For the best results, use a ground beef with a fat content of 80/20. This will help keep the beef moist and flavorful.
Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly.
Cook the beef until it is browned: Be sure to cook the beef until it is browned all the way through. This will help develop the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
Use a variety of spices: Thai cuisine is known for its use of spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like.
Serve with rice or noodles: Thai ground beef is typically served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables, spring rolls, or other Thai dishes.

Thai ground beef is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily made at home. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
