Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef such as sirloin or tenderloin. Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Thai chilies — Adjust the amount of Thai chilies according to your spice preference. Remove the seeds for a milder heat or add more for extra spiciness.
- Lemongrass — Bruise the lemongrass stalks by lightly pounding them with a knife or the back of a spoon. This helps release their aromatic flavors into the stew.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavors, let the stew simmer on low heat for a longer time, allowing the spices and herbs to infuse into the broth.
- Serve the Thai-style Gulyás with steamed jasmine rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving advice
Serve the Thai-style Gulyás in individual bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro. Accompany it with steamed jasmine rice or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, arrange the sliced beef, colorful vegetables, and fragrant herbs on top of the stew. Drizzle a little coconut milk over the dish for an extra touch of creaminess.
