Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 garlic clove, sliced
4 coriander sprigs
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh green peppercorns, available from specialist stores
1 teaspoon nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 lb sirloin steak
1 teaspoon Thai rice
3 teaspoons nam pla (Thai fish sauce)
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sweet chili paste

Steps:

  • To make the 'weeping tiger', pound together the garlic and coriander in a pestle and mortar.
  • Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the peppercorns, fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Add the steak to the bowl and rub with the marinade. Leave in a cool place for 20 minutes.
  • For the chilli sauce, toast the rice in a dry wok over a low heat, until golden brown all over. Grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.
  • Transfer the toasted rice powder to a small bowl, add the fish sauce, lemon juice, crushed chillies and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Leave on one side.
  • For the steak, preheat a grill until hot, and lightly grease a grill rack. Grill the steak for 1½ - 2 minutes on each side, if you like your steak rare. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes on each side for well-cooked steak. Leave the steak to stand for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  • Serve the steak with the chilli sauce and accompany with rice.

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 to 3 sirloin steaks (good quality)
For the Marinade:
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Sauce:
6 tablespoons fish sauce
5 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoon sugar
1 to 2 chili peppers (bird's eye variety, dried and ground, OR 1 to 2 teaspoon dried chili flakes)
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
1 handful cilantro, fresh leaves and stems, chopped, plus additional whole cilantro leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Stir marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Place steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the steaks. Turn the steaks several times to ensure they are covered with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While steak is marinating, make the accompanying sauce. Place all sauce ingredients together in a bowl and stir. Taste-test for a balance of spicy, sour, and sweet. Add more fish sauce if you'd like it saltier, or more sugar if too sour for your taste. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to "broil" setting ("high" if you have a choice between high and low). Place oven rack on the second-to-highest rung. Take steak out of the refrigerator and place either on a broiling pan, or on a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper .
  • Broil steak approximately 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and boil another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side, depending on thickness. For this recipe, the steak should still be pink in the middle, medium-rare to medium. The same goes if you are grilling instead of broiling.
  • Remove steak from oven and slice as thinly as you can. Place on a plate together with the accompanying sauce and a little fresh cilantro sprinkled over.

This recipe is hot- hence its name! Dress beef sirloin in coriander and green Thai chilli and serve with cooling cucumber and cabbage salad

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 x 200g sirloin steaks
juice 2 limes
1 tsp golden caster sugar
pinch of ground coriander
splash of soy sauce
juice 2 limes
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
1-2 green Thai chillies , finely sliced
small bunch coriander stalks , very finely chopped (use the leaves below)
½ cucumber , halved lengthways, deseeded and thinly sliced
2 handfuls cherry tomatoes , quartered
large handful mint leaves
large handful basil leaves
large handful coriander leaves
1 shallot , sliced into thin rings
½ small white cabbage , very finely sliced
large bunch fine green beans , very finely sliced

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the steaks. Leave to marinate for no longer than 2 hrs or the meat will turn pappy. Meanwhile, fire up your barbecue coals and wait for them to turn ashen.
  • Mix all the dressing ingredients together. Toss the salad ingredients with half the dressing and set aside. When the coals are ashen, sear the steak for 3-4 mins on each side for medium-rare, then leave to rest for 5 mins. Carve the steaks into thin slices and fan out on the sides of the plates. Place a pile of salad on the other side of each plate and drizzle the remaining dressing over everything.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cut of beef for the best results. Ribeye or strip steak are both good choices.
  • Be sure to marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • When grilling the beef, cook it over high heat until it is charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside.
  • Serve the weeping tiger with a dipping sauce made with fish sauce, lime juice, and chili peppers.
  • For a more authentic flavor, use Thai chili peppers instead of serrano peppers.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the weeping tiger in a hot skillet.

Conclusion:

Weeping tiger is a delicious and easy-to-make Thai dish that is perfect for a party or potluck. The beef is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice, then grilled until it is charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside. The dipping sauce adds a spicy and tangy flavor to the beef. Weeping tiger is a great dish to serve with rice and vegetables.
