Thai 'Weeping Tiger' Beef Recipe

In thailand, this dish is known as "Weeping tiger beef, " Or "Crying tiger beef. " There are various stories to back up the name, one that the chilies in the sauce made a tiger weep; the other is that a tiger cried when a hunter killed and took away his cow. The recipe calls for sirloin or your favorite cut of beef which is marinated in a simple marinade, then quickly broiled to medium-rare and sliced up, leaving it extremely tender and full of flavor. It is then served with a delicious side sauce that simply pops with flavor (great with either salad or rice or both). This version of the recipe is cooked in the oven, but if weather permits, you can grill the meat outside on your barbecue just like they do in thailand. Enjoy
