Description
Crying Tiger Beef with Nam Jim Jaew Sauce is a flavorful dish featuring marinated flank steak served with a spicy dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- For the Nam Jim Jaew Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon rice powder (or toasted ground rice)
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- While the beef is resting, prepare the Nam Jim Jaew sauce by mixing fish sauce, lime juice, rice powder, chili flakes, sugar, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Slice the beef into bite-sized pieces and serve with the Nam Jim Jaew sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider grilling the beef instead of pan-searing for a smoky taste.
- You can also serve the beef with sticky rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
- Adjust the spice level of the sauce by adding more or fewer chili flakes based on your preference.
