Description

Experience a burst of flavor with these Thai Basil Beef Rolls, featuring tender beef wrapped in aromatic basil leaves, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp chili paste

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and chili paste. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant and well combined.
  4. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each basil leaf and roll tightly like burritos.
  5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place rolls seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden on all sides (about 3 minutes per side).
