Thai Beef Stir Fry | Thai Stir Fry Recipe

Thai Beef Stir Fry

Light, spicy and full of flavor. This is a very easy dish to prepare and only took about 15 minutes to get it on the table. We really liked using the lettuce because it gave a nice freshness and cool crisp taste to what might otherwise been the usual rice.

Next time we might use bigger pieces of lettuce and make a lettuce wrap with the meat.

We used Dried Tien Tsin Chiles for the heat in this dish. These are pretty hot chiles (50,000-70,000 SHU). You can cut the heat a bit by using a milder chile or 2-3 Tablespoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (30,000-35,000 SHU) or Maras Flakes (1,000-2,500 SHU).

This dish is a good source of protein, Vitamin K, Vitamin B12 and Zinc but it is also high in sodium.
