This Thai Pilaf leans on fish sauce and palm sugar to do the heavy lifting. We roast the Beef for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the fish sauce and palm sugar elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the beef. Roast in the hot oven, turning halfway, until golden at the edges and tender.
Stir in the palm sugar and the rest of the fish sauce and palm sugar flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped mint and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
