Nua Yang - Thai Style BBQ Beef

Submitted by Chef #1439705

"Thai style bbq marinade, great for steak sauce or stir fry marinade. I love it because it's very fast and the flavour is strong. It's close to the flavour from my local Thai restaurant. I can't take all the credit I was given the recipe from a friend but I have cut it down to just the basics. No idea where it originated from."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 4 steaks
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lime juice (sour base)
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce (salty base)
• 1 tablespoon ketjap manis (sweet base)
• 1⁄2 tablespoon palm sugar, grated or
• 1⁄2 tablespoon honey
• 600 g beef steaks

directions

1. Quantity is for pour over sauce.
2. Any type of steak or bbq beef can be used. I use very thinly sliced bbq steak and make a stir fry, adding fresh cooked vegies before serving.
3. Blend all ingredients together, you might want to add a touch more of any of the ingredients to taste. Thai food is about balancing flavours.
4. You can either marinade your steak in the sauce (in which case double or treble the quantities), or just make a pour over sauce.
5. For sauce, heat all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until sauce thickens. Remove and pour over cooked steak.
6. If marinading, leave large steaks in uncooked mix for 1-2 hours, remove and bbq or pan cook steak as desired. Remember to reserve any left-over marinade, this can then be heated in a saucepan over a high heat until nearly boiling. The sauce will thicken, if not add a touch more sugar or honey.
7. Pour sauce over meat before serving.
8. I've mastered this to a 10 minute stir-fry by using very thinly sliced steak. Only 5 minute marinade is required, then cook for 5 minutes.
9. Enjoy.
