"My version of Thai Beef Basil I usually get from take-out. If you can find Thai Basil and Thai Chilies that would be great. Otherwise, I've used regular basil and serrano or jalapeno chilies instead. I freeze the beef for 10 minutes to make it easier to thinly slice."

This is absolutely delicious! Substituted chilies for cored/deseeded jalapeños, bulked up a little more on the vegetables. So, so yummy. Give it a try!

It was really good. I used 2 Thai bird chilies and that was nice mild heat. Recipe didn’t say when to add bell peppers so I added it at the same time as onions. I also used ground beef cause I had some available. I would use a little less fish sauce and maybe add a squeeze of lime juice next time. Really good as lettuce wrap filling. It was a quick recipe. Great for weeknight meal.

This was a snap and absolutely delicious--I had some tenderloin flap meat I'd trimmed off a whole tenderloin and used it..This recipe will be a staple--quick, delicious and easy.
