Thai Chili Beef, "Neua Pad Prik"

This is a quick, and fairly mild preparation for beef. It can also be prepared with pork.

Ingredients

2 pounds beef 

Marinade 

2 tablespoons seasoned fish sauce (see below)
2 tablespoons cornstarch 
1 tablespoon black pepper sauce
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped 
1/2 cup shallots finely sliced 
1/2 cup green jalapeno peppers, sliced 
1/2 cup red jalapeno peppers, sliced 
5 tablespoons fish sauce 
2 tablespoons dark sweet soy sauce 
2 tablespoons sugar 
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Seasoned fish sauce: take 4 tablespoons of fish sauce, add a tablespoon of Thai chile peppers, sliced thinly. Store in a stoppered jar for a week in the refrigerator, then it is ready to use. The excess can be used as a condiment for this dish.

Method

Slice the beef, and pound the slices thin. Mix the marinade ingredients and combine with the beef, and marinade for about 2 hours. In a large skillet or wok heat some oil, and sautee the beef, marinade, garlic, shallots and chilis for about 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and saute for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked. 

Serve over Thai jasmine rice, and garnish with a fried egg.
