Tell Me More
- We braise the beef for up to 3 hours with spices to ensure it’s perfectly tender
- This has some authentic Thai flavours and is a far cry from the kind of Thai curries you’ll find in a supermarket
- Although it’s full of classic Thai flavours like lemongrass, fish sauce and ginger, this recipe doesn’t contain any coconut
Try It With
- Because of its powerful flavours, it’s best with Jasmine rice. You could serve on a banana leaf, if you can find one!
- It’s one for Thai aficionados, so great as part of a Thai buffet alongside some of our crowd-pleasing curries
- For an innovative twist, put it in a wrap with some rice and fresh coriander for a sort of Thai burrito
How We Make It At Our Kitchen
We use a UK and Irish silverside beef – a terrific cut for Thai cooking – which we braise with star aniseed and cinnamon sticks for up to 3 hours. Then we used the braising liquor to make the sauce, with garlic that’s friend until a lovely brown colour, lots of tamarind paste, lime juice, ginger, lemongrass, and fish and soya sauce. Finally we add stir-fried red peppers, carrots, red onions and spring onions.
