Why you’ll like it
- Thai Culture: Watching Thai dramas or TV shows will immerse you in their rich culture, and delicious food that is strong to resist. My go-to Thai food is definitely the Thai Green Chicken Noodle Soup.
- Thai Stir-Fry: This dish perfectly balances spicy, sweet, and savory notes, much like other Asian stir-fries. Even without the beef, the veggies in Thai vegetable stir-fry are always something I look forward to
- Spicy Kick: Nothing beats the tender beef immersed in a spicy mixture, mellowed by the coconut cream
Tips
- Make sure to slice the beef into long strips to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornflour in the Thai-style sauce.
- To save time, you can marinate the beef in advance and refrigerate it until ready to cook.
Variations for the Thai Beef Stir Fry (Mary Berry)
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with tofu or your favourite meat alternative.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms for extra variety.
- For a spicier kick, add more red Thai curry paste or fresh chilli. Otherwise, if you’re not a fan of spicy food, reduce the amount of red Thai curry paste or omit it altogether.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving for an extra burst of citrus flavour.
Storing the Thai Beef Stir-Fry
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply heat the stir-fry in a pan over medium heat until warmed through. However, it’s best to enjoy this dish fresh to fully savour its flavours and textures.
Serving Mary Berry Thai Beef Stir Fry
This Mary Berry Thai Beef Stir-Fry pairs perfectly with steamed jasmine rice or spicy noodles. The fragrant and fluffy rice or the tender noodles will soak up the delicious sauce, creating a satisfying and complete meal. You can also serve it with a side of fresh cucumber slices or a crisp green salad to add a refreshing element to the dish. Don’t forget to garnish with additional Thai basil leaves for an extra pop of flavour and visual appeal.
