Nua Yang Nam Tok (Waterfall Beef)
1 lb beef steak thick
MARINADE
1 tb fish sauce
1 tb tamarind juice
1 tb lime juice
1 tb chopped red birdseye chilies, (prik ki nu)
REMAINING INGREDIENTS:
1/3 c fish sauce
1/3 c lime juice
2 tb chopped shallots
2 tb chopped coriander/cilantro (including the roots if possible)
2 tb chopped mint leaves
2 tb khao noor
1 tb freshly roasted/fried sesame seeds
2 ts freshly ground dried red chilies.
If you've got a broiler/grill you can cook this one anytime, otherwise wait for the barbeque
season. In Thai nua is beef, yang means broiled (over a charcoal burner), and nam tok is a
waterfall. The name comes from the sound the juices dripping from the beef onto the open charcoal
brazier make. Mix the marinade, coat the steak with it and marinade it for at least 3 hours. The
steak is then barbecued, broiled or grilled until on the rare side of medium rare, cut into half
inch thick strips and the strips cut into bite sized pieces. The meat can be kept cool until just
before you want to eat. Method In a wok, bring a little oil to medium high heat, and add the strips
of beef, immediately followed by all the remaining ingredients, stir fry until heated through
(about a minute). Serve with Thai sticky rice. (Alternatively I rather like it as part of a meal
with pad Thai and a soup such as tom yum ghoong (hot and sour shrimp soup)). Recipe By: Muoi
