Learn how to make delicious Thai Basil Beef Rolls. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

To bring these rolls to life, you’ll need a handful of fresh ingredients that pack a punch of flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 red chili, sliced (optional for heat)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a dish that will transport your taste buds to the streets of Thailand:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves until they are just wilted.
  5. To assemble the rolls, lay a lettuce leaf flat and fill with a generous spoonful of the beef mixture. Top with shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, and a few slices of red chili if desired.
  6. Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling, similar to a burrito, and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  7. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
