Truth
be told, I don't really know if this is
a genuine Thai barbecue recipe or not, but
the first time I came across the fascinating
flavors of this enticing beef stir fry recipe
was at a Bangkok barbecue I was fortunate
to be invited to, quite a few years ago.
Intrigued by the combination of flavors,
I begged the recipe off my host. As I said,
I don't know if it's an original Thai barbecue
staple or not, but it's roots are definitely
in Thai cuisine. Years of adaptation have
turned into a campfire staple of mine, and
I love to create some Asian magic when we're
out camping. But be prepared - when this
great and healthy stir fry recipe's delicious
Far Eastern aromas start wafting through
the campground, you'll find a lot of camping
neighbors coming 'round to see what's cooking.
This
not-so-basic beef stir fry recipe is very
easy to prepare, at camp or at home, and
a great alternative to the standard barbecue
beef recipe. Even now, after so many years,
I find the flavors are still refreshingly
different and pleasing.
This
simple Asian barbecue recipe is completely
in line with our single-skillet concept,
and is very easy to make in a basic RV kitchen,
or even on a small, single burner, camping
stove. Use with a wok or with a wide skillet.
