Cambodian Stir fry lemongrass beef

Cambodian Stir Fry Lemongrass Beef is a quick and flavorful dish that’s easy to prepare and sure to become a favorite. To begin, thin slices of beef are marinated in a mixture of oyster sauce and vegetable oil, infusing them with a rich, savory flavor. After marinating for 30 minutes, the beef is ready to be cooked.

The stir fry begins by heating oil in a wok or frying pan, and then adding minced garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned, optional long beans can be added and stir-fried for an additional 2 minutes. Next, the marinated beef is introduced and cooked until it reaches a tender, almost-done state. Sliced white onion, thin jalapeño or Thai bird eye chilies, and red bell pepper are then incorporated into the stir fry, creating a colorful and flavorful combination of vegetables.

The dish’s distinctive Cambodian flavors come from a mixture of lemongrass paste (kroeung), fish paste (prohok), Knorr Chicken powder, tamarind concentrate, sugar, and water. This mixture is added to the stir fry, infusing the dish with a unique and aromatic profile. The stir fry continues until the beef and vegetables are fully cooked. The final step involves garnishing the dish with crushed peanuts (optional) for added texture and holy basil for a burst of fresh herbaceous flavor.

This Cambodian Stir Fry Lemongrass Beef is best enjoyed piping hot, served alongside a portion of rice. With its straightforward preparation and vibrant blend of flavors, it’s a dish that’s sure to become a cherished addition to any home-cooked meal.
