Thai Peanut Beef
This Thai Beef is so good, you’ll be licking the plate! Tender beef is tossed in a multi-dimensional sauce infused with soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, chili paste, basil, ginger, garlic and PEANUT BUTTER! The sauce is savory, sweet, salty, and tangy - everything a Thai sauce should be - and then some. The robust sauce is complimented by the refreshing sweetness of the pineapple and the tender crunch of the broccoli. This Thai Beef recipe is easy to make with its make-ahead-marinade and sauce and then it’s just a quick stir fry to dinner!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium bowl, mix the Marinade/Sauce ingredients together. Add 1/4 cup Marinade to a freezer bag along with beef and turn to evenly coat. Reserve the rest of the marinade separately - this will become the base of your Sauce. Refrigerate Sauce and marinating beef for ⏱️ 8-24 hours.
2
When ready to cook, drain excess marinade off of beef (if there is any). Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot and sizzling. Working in batches, add beef to the skillet and break up any clumps; cook without stirring for ⏱️ 1 minute, then stir and cook until beef is browned and almost cooked through, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes (it will cook more in the sauce). Don’t overcook or it won’t be as tender! Transfer beef to a large plate and cover. Repeat with remaining beef. Wipe skillet of any excess moisture.
