Beef. Crying Tiger Beef

Crying Tiger Beef

April 08, 2016 1 Comment

This is a dish that is often served up in many different ways whether you are eating it in Thailand or overseas. This version of the Crying Tiger sauce is probably closer to the Lao style but it's certainly the way I prefer to eat it. This is a spicy dish and not for the faint hearted. I actually prefer to eat this outside of Thailand where the beef quality is generally better and I can have the steak cooked fairly rare.

Marinate the steak with half the contents of the pouch for several hours or overnight in a fridge. Cut into manageable portions if need be and grill or fry in a ridged frying pan until done.

I like mine to be cooked medium rare and then leave it for 5 minutes for the juices to settle before carving into strips. Add a tablespoon or so of warm water to the remainder of the sauce and some chopped spring onions, adjust to taste with a little lime juice and serve as a dip. I like to serve it with Thai sticky rice and Padron peppers from Waitrose if possible.

Enjoy!

Wow, this is the first time I’ve had a Crying Tiger dish, so can’t make any comparisons with other versions, but it’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten. I made it following Nitsa’s recipe, marinated the steak overnight, served with rice, asparagus, broccoli and green beans on the side. As described, it is very spicy and I’m used to spicy food, but not so spicy that it burns your mouth for 10 minutes and masks all the flavours. If you want a less spicy dish, you could just use it as a steak marinade and omit the dipping sauce, as the steak was also very delicious without the dip. I reckon one sachet could marinate three or four small to medium sized steaks, or two large ones. I used about a third of the paste to marinate a medium sized steak, so had 2 thirds left for the dip. There was quite a lot of dip left at the end, so next time I’ll buy more steak.

A very natural, fresh tasting sauce that’s obviously been made with top quality ingredients. Highly recommended if you like something spicy and tangy.

Chicken massaman

Massaman roast chicken

January 07, 2022

This is a totally delicious way to serve roast chicken as well as being very simple to prepare. Cooking a whole chicken this way is practised in various forms throughout Asia, sometimes pot roasted, sometimes over hot coals and with many different curry pastes. Often cooked in the home, rather than restaurants, which is probably the reason why many Westerners are not familiar with the dish. Well, now is the time to change that and I promise you that you won't regret it!

Mixed seafood in Thai green curry paste with black rice

December 07, 2021

This is a dish that is incredibly easy and quick to prepare. If you have a bag of frozen seafood in the freezer and the whole dish can come together in the time it takes to cook the rice. Talking of rice, I find myself increasingly turning to black rice

Thai Jungle Curry or Kaeng Pa

October 03, 2021

This is as fiery as it gets for a Thai curry, it is way more spicy than most people can handle. It is also one of the simplest Thai curries to prepare, Jungle curries, or more accurately, forest curries, were traditionally made with whatever was to hand so your choice of meats and vegetables comes down to whatever you wish to put in it.

Panang paste

The paste is unbelievable, will definitely be using it again

Fantastically authentic

I brought several different sachets to see which one I liked, I also took the opportunity to source the coconut milk that was recommended rather than go with the watery supermarket stuff that is available. Oh boy, when I finished the meal of green chicken curry both my husband and I said that it was the most delicious Thai curry we had ever had. It was full of flavour and packed with attitude. I will not hesitate to order again.

Very authentic

I have been using various thai pastes from My Thai for sometime and have never been disappointed. They are very authentic and easy to use. I prefer a thicker sauce so use a little less coconut milk. Highly recommended.

Most amazing Thai paste!!

This is the 5th time we have ordered from My Thai Curry and time after time we are never disappointed! Nitsa brings such different flavours and aromatics to this paste that you couldn’t replicate in a supermarket! My partner and I love it! Please give her a try! Thank you again for your amazing products!
