Ingredients
- 500 grams beef (flank steak or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 red Thai chiles, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), thinly sliced
- 1 cup holy basil leaves (or sweet basil)
- 4 servings steamed jasmine rice, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sliced chiles, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced beef. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 5
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 6
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring well to coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the holy basil leaves until wilted.
Step 8
Serve the Thai beef stir-fry hot over steamed jasmine rice.
