  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, lime wedges, sliced chili

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Place the sliced beef on a clean work surface. Coat each slice with the marinade, then place a Thai basil leaf on each piece.
  3. Gently roll the beef around the basil to form tight, bite-sized rolls.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef rolls and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings like chopped peanuts, lime wedges, and chili slices.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and tender bites.
  • Fresh Thai basil adds authentic flavor; sweet basil can be used as a substitute.
  • Include sliced chili peppers during stir-frying for added heat.
  • Pair with jasmine rice or rice noodles for a complete meal.
  • For a healthier option, serve over steamed vegetables.
