Thai Weeping Tiger Beef (with Nam Jim Jaew)

With its perfect balance of savory, sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, Thai Weeping Tiger Beef is a mouthwatering steak dish that lives up to its intriguing name. I personally think this steak is named Weeping Tiger because the flavors and textures make this dish so unimaginably delicious that even tigers would weep with joy from taking just one bite, knowing that they don't have the ability to make this themselves. The key to Thai Weeping Tiger Beef's rich depth of taste is the nam jim jaew dipping sauce, which beautifully complements the juicy char-grilled strips of tender steak. Served alongside warm sticky rice (or not) for soaking up every last drop of the sweet, sour, and slightly spicy nam jim jaew sauce, this Thai Weeping Tiger Beef is a unique take on steak that will leave your tastebuds weeping tears of happiness.

Ingredients

For steak marinade

1 lb beef steak any cut that you'd like. I used bottom round because it's the cheapest one when I bought it. Cut into 1 -1.5 inch thick.
4 tablespoons oyster sauce or Hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon toasted rice powder optinal

For Nam Jim Jaew Dipping Sauce (per serving)

1 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoons chili flake
1 teaspoons toasted rice powder
2 teaspoons tamarind concentrate
4 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon cilantro chopped or culantro or mint
½ shallot optional

Instructions

Marinade and Cook the Steak

Use a fork to poke the steak all over so that the heat distribute more evenly. Marinade the steak with the oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, pepper, garlic powder, and toasted rice powder for at least 10 minutes.
Air fry the steaks at 400 ℉ for 15 minutes. This gives me the medium to medium -well of doneness for 1 - 1.5 inch thick of steak. (If you are unsure that you'd like this level the doneness, try to start out with just once piece of steak. Then adjust the heat and time as you desire. )

Make the Nam Jim Jaew Dipping sauce and Prepare Fresh Vegetables

While the steak is cooking, combine the ingredients from the list above for Nam Jim Jaew in a small bowl. (sugar, chili flakes, toasted rice powder, tamarind concentrate, and fish sauce)
Top with some chopped cilantro and sliced shallots.

Assemble and Serve

Slice the steak as thin as you can. No need to stress out and try to get it paper then. Arrange them on a plate along with Nam Jim Jaew and fresh vegetables such as fresh cucumbers and green beans. You can also serve it along with stickyrice for more energy. Enjoy!
