Remember that Pad Thai recipe I shared a few weeks ago that had me squealing with delight? This one is another favorite I stole from the chef. It is beyond delicious. Usually I taste my food and toot my own horn. So, for your benefit I pulled my best friend from Pakistan into the camera frame and shoved a spoonful of the Thai-spiced beef in her mouth telling her what to say. WATCH THE VIDEO!

Thai Beef

My friend sold it pretty well. The Thai Beef Chilli is indeed really delicious. And for a dish that comes together in less than 20 minutes, you have no excuse but to make this. It’s my go-to when I’m pressed for time and don’t want to grab processed fast food or even greasy Asian take-out. Because guess what? The only greasy take-out that I’m going to be eating would be taken out of my kitchen! HAH!

I just want to start by saying that I absolutely love your channel and your recipes! I’m Guyanese and my husband is Pakistani, so your recipes have been a saviour for me to get some Pakistani tradition with food. I just have a question… I noticed in the ingredient list you put soy sauce, and then in the directions you put oyster sauce, just wondering which it is or should I put both. Also, how do you think a bit of ginger and sesame oil would taste? And lastly, should I put salt? Thanks, and lots of love from Toronto, Canada ❤

Hey Rookie, doesn’t it usually require more time till the beef is tender?
I thought it would get more chewy if I cook the beef strips in that short time.
