Ingredients
Crying Tiger Beef
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 8 grams garlic (grated)
- 8 grams ginger (grated)
- 400 grams beef steak (no more than 1-inch thick)
- white pepper (to taste)
Nam Jim Jaew
- 12 grams glutinous rice
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon evaporated cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili flakes
- 10 grams cilantro (or mint, chopped)
- 10 grams scallion (chopped)
- 16 grams shallot (optional, minced)
Instructions
- Mix the 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 8 grams garlic, and 8 grams ginger together in a small bowl and then slather all over 400 grams beef steak. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you marinate for longer in the refrigerator, take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
- For the Nam Jim Jaew, toast 12 grams glutinous rice in a dry skillet over medium heat. Shake or toss the pan constantly to brown the rice evenly.
- When the rice is golden brown, transfer it to a mortar and grind it into a coarse powder using a pestle. You can also use a spice grinder, but let the rice cool first and be careful not to grind it too finely.
- Add 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon evaporated cane sugar, 2 teaspoons chili flakes, 10 grams cilantro, 10 grams scallion, and 16 grams shallot to a bowl. Measure 2 teaspoons of your toasted rice powder and stir the Nam Jim Jaew together until the sugar has dissolved.
- Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot but not scorching. If you are using a grill, lay the steak diagonally on the grill at the 10 o'clock. Let this cook until you have grill marks (~1 ½ minutes)
- Turn the steak to the 2 o'clock position without flipping it over and press down on any parts that aren't making contact with the pan.
- Continue cooking the steak for another minute until it has developed a crosshatched grill pattern. Flip the steak and then repeat the grilling process at 2 o'clock and then turn it to 10 o'clock. Lower the heat to prevent burning if the steak starts browning too quickly. Grilling a 1-inch thick steak to medium rare will take about 5 minutes.
- When the Crying Tiger Steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it.
- Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain using a sharp knife.
- Grind white pepper on the sliced steak to taste, then sprinkle with some extra toasted rice powder.
- Serve your Crying Tiger Beef with vegetables (like cucumber or cabbage) and the Nam Jim Jaew sauce.
