Delicious Thai Basil Beef Rolls Recipe You’ll Love!
Ingredients
- Flank steak (or sirloin/ribeye/ground beef)
- Thai basil
- Rice paper wrappers (gluten-free option available)
- Shredded carrots
- Cucumbers
- Bell peppers
- Soy sauce
- Sugar
- Minced garlic
- Black pepper
- Oil (for cooking)
- Chili paste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Start by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain. In a bowl, marinate the beef with soy sauce, a teaspoon of sugar, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned, then toss in a handful of Thai basil leaves. Stir-fry for another minute until the basil is wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef is cooling, julienne your carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
- Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it is soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Place a small amount of the beef mixture in the center, followed by a few strips of vegetables and a couple of extra basil leaves. Fold in the sides and then roll from the bottom up to encase the filling. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.
- Serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter. They can be served plain or with a dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce and lime juice, or a peanut sauce for added richness.
