The beef is tender and caramelized and tossed in a delicious salty sauce with peppers, onions and fragrant basil. When my husband and I lived in St. Louis, there was a Thai food restaurant that we frequented that was unlike any other; I'm salivating just thinking about it. This Thai basil recipe is my attempt at recreating one of my favorite dishes from this restaurant, Pad Gra Prow AKA Thai Basil Beef. Basil—using Thai holy basil (if you're lucky enough to find it) makes this spicy beef stir-fry worthy of the name "phat ka-phrao" which means "holy basil stir-fry".
