Thai Basil Beef is a super easy one-skillet meal loaded with tender, juicy beef and absolutely bursting with flavor!
In a medium bowl add beef, water, cornstarch and soy sauce. Toss to coat. Marinade for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and sear the beef until just browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the red pepper and green onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the beef back to the pan along with the sauce. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the Thai basil and cook until it’s just wilted.
Serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
