Method

  1. 1 Grind the soaked dried chili peppers with lemongrass, shallots, garlic, and turmeric powder to make a thick, dry sauce.
  2. 2 Chop the beef coarsely with a knife.
  3. 3 Sauté the sauce with a little oil to bring out the flavors of turmeric and chili.
  4. 4 Add the meat and stir-fry over medium heat; this dish is dry-cooked, so no water should be added.
  5. 5 Sauté until the meat is dry and coated with the yellow sauce, then sprinkle with finely chopped Thai lime leaves.
