Basil Beef Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Basil beef is a delicious ground beef recipe. It is usually tastes somewhat sweet and spicy. It also has an appetizing aroma brought about by the fresh basil leaves.

Basil Beef

I love basil beef as much as basil chicken. The type of meat does not matter to me as long as the the flavors of the ingredients are in harmony. I used to enjoy this dish with plain white rice, but I think that can also be a good pair for brown rice. You see, I have been eating brown rice lately and it already did me wonders.

In terms of the heat, it is up to you to control the amount of chili. It could be mild or very hot depending on your preference. As for the basil leaves, you can use the regular fresh basil leaves or use holy basil. The more basil leaves the better as it adds a nice aroma and flavor to the dish. By the way, I would recommend you to adjust the saltiness according to your taste. Instead of pouring all the fish sauce right away, try doing half of it first. You can add the remaining fish sauce towards the end if you need more.
