I love spicy food. I also like a good beef or chicken marinade. While the ingredients for this recipe don’t seem like it would be too spicy, believe me, this Asian Fire Meat recipe delivers a nice smooth kick!
I guess it’s pretty obvious that the heat of this dish comes from the red pepper flakes.
Like almost every other recipe on this website, you can control the heat by adding or reducing the amount of red pepper flakes.
Either way, this marinade makes the beef absolutely wonderful!
Recipe Tip
Most grocery stores offer thinly sliced round steak. This will save you the aggravation of slicing it yourself. If you can’t find it ask the butcher to do it for you!
Ingredient Substitution
Instead of the Round Steak, you can substitute for some flank steak or skirt steak.
If you don’t have any sesame oil on hand your best bet would be to use Peanut Oil. In a pinch you can use olive oil but the flavor profile will change.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve this delicious meat on a bed of white rice or use it to make a lettuce wrap. I especially like to serve it with some Thai Coconut Rice.
