1 tablespoon minced garlic Salt and black pepper 14 cup nam pla (fish sauce) Juice of 1 lime 12 cup chopped fresh cilantro, basil (preferably Thai), or mint 1. Put a large skillet over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the beef. Stir immediately, then stir every 20 seconds or so until the meat is no longer pink, just a minute or 2. Transfer the beef to a plate. 2. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When its hot, add the sweet potatoes, scallions, chiles if youre using them, and garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the potatoes change color and begin to brown; then stir more frequently until they are tender but not at all mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Return the beef to the pan along with the fish sauce and lime juice. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and youve scraped up all the bits of meat and vegetable. Toss in the herb and serve.
