Spicy Thai Basil Beef

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil.

Add ground beef and cook 4–5 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.

Drain excess fat, leaving a small amount for flavor.

Add garlic and chili peppers and stir-fry 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in fish sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Add Thai basil leaves and stir-fry just until wilted.

Taste and adjust salt or heat if needed.

Remove from heat and rest 1 minute.

Serve hot over steamed rice.
