Nua Cheh Nam Pla (Fried Marinated Beef) Recipe - Cooking Index
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Fish sauce |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Sugar |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Oil - plus 6 tbs. /90 ml |
Oil for frying | ||
1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Skirt or flank beef - sliced diagonally across the grain |
In a medium bowl mix the fish sauce, salt, sugar and 1 Tbs. oil. Add the pieces of beef and turn them thoroughly in the mixture. Leave to marinate for at least an hour. Remove the meat and drain on a rack. In Thailand, after marinating we would put the meat in the sun to dry: this can be simulated simply by leaving it overnight. If you wish to eat straight-away, put the pieces of meat under a low grill or in a warm oven for about 10-15 minutes until dry. To finish, heat the oil in a frying pan until a very light haze appears and fry the meat on both sides until it is dark brown - about 5 minutes.
