My hubby ate this all the time in a Thai restaurant in North Carolina. When we moved, we tried all sort of Thai restaurants, none came close. Finally, we found a Thai cookbook with one very similar.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon(s) rice grains
1 1/2 pound(s) beef tenderloin
1/4 cup(s) fish sauce, more to taste
1/4 cup(s) lime juice, more to taste
2 stalk(s) lemon grass thinly sliced
1/2 cup(s) shallots or red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Roast the rice in a pan over the stove until light brown and fragrant. Let cool and grind in a mortar or food processor until roughly ground.
  • Pick off all the cilantro and mint leaves from the stems. Combine in a bowl with all the ingredients except the beef, lettuce, fish sauce and lime juice.
  • Cook beef by grilling, sautéing, or roasting until desired doneness. Slice beef thinly across the grain.
  • To serve, combine beef with all the ingredients except the dressing and lettuce. After mixing the ingredients well, add a little dressing at a time to taste.
  • Serve over a bed of lettuce or cabbage. (some people like to eat this over rice instead of the lettuce or cabbage)
