Main Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 shallots chopped
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1.5 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2-3 Tablespoons chili paste with garlic
- 3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1.5 cups holy basil leaves chopped
- 3 green onions chopped, for garnish
- 5 cups hot cooked rice
In a wok or large skillet over medium high heat, add the oil, shallots, garlic, ginger and bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Push the veggies off to the side and add the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. (I like to use a meat chopper to break up the meat in very small pieces.)
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, cornstarch, beef broth, and water and add to the pan.
Simmer for 5-10 minutes
Add the basil and stir. Serve over hot steamed rice, with chopped green onion on top.
