If you already know me, you would know that I love quick, easy and economical meals. I created this version to use lean ground beef instead of steak, a much more affordable option.This is done in the time it takes to cook the rice and a side dish of stir fried veggies. Voila supper on the table and everybody's happy. Thai sweet chili sauce has become my new ketchup, I love it on almost everything.
- 1- 1/2 lean ground beef
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 pepper, I used a half of two colors making one pepper, chopped
- 2 cups of mushrooms, sliced (I did not have any this time)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- Brown the beef well with the cloves of minced garlic and drain any excess fat.
- Add the ginger with the sesame oil and chili flakes if you are using them.
- Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and sweet chili sauce.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Top with sliced the stir fried onion mushrooms and peppers that have been cooked separately. Add green onions or parsley for color.
- Serve over rice and your favorite stir fried vegetables.
I like the idea of using ground beef instead of slices of meat. I want to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteAny chance of adding a "Pin-it" button to your website?
ReplyDeleteLove your recipes and have been pinning them using a browser "Pin-it" button. But for some reason, it's no longer working on my browser. Until tech support gets it fixed, I can't pin your recipes - and I love them!
Ditto Darlene's comment! :o)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Charlotte - this looks so good.
ReplyDeleteAbout the pin it button - mine is on my toolbar and I can pin using it.
Charlotte..that looks great...
ReplyDeleteI can't pin them neither, sure would like to as I have a board strictly for Mennonite Girls Can Cook.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that our "pin-it" buttons were out of order for a while. I have one on my browser, but it would NOT work. It started working again yesterday afternoon. But a "Pin-it" button on site would still be a great addition. And it's a free app.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm thinking I'm making this for dinner tonight!
I just made this tonight. I had extra yellow onions, green, orange and red peppers, and used some bottled garlic/chili/ginger paste I had on hand, as I had no fresh ginger. My measurements were a bit imprecise - but gosh...it tastes great! It will make super lunches this week over a bed of rice! Spicy, sweet and savory (umami)...the holy trinity of Asian cooking!
ReplyDeleteHi, does anyone have a suggestion for a substitute for the Thai Sweet Chili sauce?
ReplyDeleteI plan to try this as well. I really like that it is so econimical using ground beef!
Hoisin, Sweet and Sour sauce, Teriyaki. There are a number of choices of prepared sauces, just substitute the one you enjoy eating.
