About Thai basil beef

Thai Basil Beef, known as "Pad Gra Prow" in Thai cuisine, is a flavorful stir-fry dish originating from Thailand. It features ground or thinly sliced beef cooked with aromatic ingredients like garlic, chilies, shallots, and a fragrant medley of sauces, including soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. Fresh Thai basil leaves lend the dish its signature taste with a slightly peppery, sweet note. Traditionally served over jasmine rice, it may also be accompanied by a fried egg for added richness. Packed with protein from beef, this dish contributes to muscle development and repair. The chilies provide a good dose of vitamin C and metabolism-boosting capsaicin. However, its sodium content can be high due to the sauces, so moderation is key. Balanced with fresh herbs and lean beef cuts, this dish offers bold flavors while fitting into a nutrient-conscious eating plan when portioned responsibly.
