Gaeng Run Juan with Beef

Another prized item on the menu is the traditional Thai Gaeng Run Juan

(It’s from my grandmother recipe).

The fantastic dish included fresh strips of thinly sliced beef flank steak lightly cooked and combined into almost what I’d call a meat salad curry.

Here’s more of a close up shot of the dish. Can you see the finely shaved slices of lemongrass, the whole baby cloves of garlic and the whole chillies?

Those ingredients along with a lime and shrimp paste dressing

made it wholly flavorful and simply a joy to eat!
