Description
Thai Basil Beef Rolls are a delicious and fresh dish that combines tender marinated beef with vibrant herbs and crunchy vegetables, all wrapped in delicate rice paper.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced into strips
- 12 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, whole
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red chili flakes (if using). Add the sliced beef and toss to coat. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until it’s browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds until it softens. Carefully remove it and place it on a clean surface.
- In the center of the softened rice paper, place a few basil leaves, cilantro leaves, a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper. Add a few strips of cooked beef on top.
- Gently fold the sides of the rice paper in, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
Notes
- For extra spice, increase the amount of red chili flakes.
- These rolls can be served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and lime juice.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
