Known as Thai Basil Beef or Pad Gra Prow. It is a delicious dish that is ready in under 15 minutes.
Thai food is something that I need more of in my life. I wanted to branch off from only making Pad Thai and Red Curry at home. So I tried this Thai Basil Beef it was amazing! I have some co-workers that always get Thai Basil dishes when we go out for Thai food so I thought it was worth a try at home.
The dish is very simple to make and comes together pretty quickly. Especially if you are buying frozen rice that you can just microwave, you will have dinner ready in no time.
Thai Basil Beef calls for Thai basil if you are not able to find Thai basil, just substitute it for regular basil. I would highly recommend still trying to find Thai basil, I would try a specialty market if you have one near your home.
