Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 red chiles, thinly sliced, seeded for less heat if desired, divided
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups fresh basil leaves, divided
2 medium carrots, julienned or coarsely grated
2 scallions, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 teaspoon sugar
Steamed rice and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and 1 chile and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up with a spoon and pressing down firmly to help brown, until cooked through and nicely crisped in spots, 8-10 minutes. Add broth and 2 cups basil and cook, stirring, until basil is wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Toss carrots, scallions, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and remaining chile, 1 cup basil leaves, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl.
  • Mix soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice in another small bowl until sugar dissolves.
  • Top rice with beef and slaw and drizzle with soy dressing. Serve lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use a milder chili paste.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a mild chili paste instead of the recommended hot chili paste. It was still really flavorful and delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of beef. It was still really good! The tofu absorbed all the flavors of the sauce and it was really tender.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but this dish changed my mind. The basil added a really nice flavor to the beef. I'll definitely be making this again.
