Thai Peanut Beef
Skip the take-out tonight and try this unbelievably easy 20-minute dish that the whole family will love!
Jason and I are trying to cut down on ordering out so I’ve been trying to make a lot of take-out dishes right at home, whether it’s Chinese orange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, or PF Chang’s Mongolian beef. But my new favorite has to be this unbelievably easy 20 minute Thai peanut beef.
Seriously, I kid you not – this dish really comes together in just 20 minutes with 10 minute prep, maybe even less. It’s a simple peanut butter sauce that you stir in to the cooked flank steak. That’s it! Not to mention how tasty it is too! The subtle sweet peanut sauce blends in so well with the crisp beef slices, and when you drizzle on that Sriracha, it is absolute perfection.
So the next time you think about ordering take-out, I really urge you to make this – it’s so easy, so quick and it’s sure to be a family favorite!

Wow, this looks so good it makes me hungry! I saw the picture this morning on Pinterest and now on Foodgawker, I will put it on my to-make list. Thank you for sharing Chung-Ah!
This is my favourite kind of recipe … quick and easy but super tasty, too. I love any savoury recipes made with peanut butter … they’re always delicious and go down well with everyone.
Love how easy this looks and the sauce sounds so good!
Perfect for weeknight dinner. Love peanuts in anything.
Beautifully done. 😉
Lovely! We are on the same challenge I can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for the nice recipe.
I need this right now .SO GOOD!!
Love the sound of this dish. Peanut butter and soy sauce with Sriracha. Yum!
We are moderately (aka completely, totally, helplessly) obsessed with peanut sauce stir fry. Who needs take out?
This looks delicious! I’ve never tried peanut butter in a savory dish before! Will be trying this soon.
I would hate to invite you over for dinner. You make all your food look so delicious!!!! YUM.
I need this! Me and the hubs LOVE take out, but it definitely adds up if you order out a lot. Ready in 30 minutes and includes peanut butter and sriracha? I love you.
Looks absolutely delicious!! I just found a spicy Asian condiment called Go-Chu-Jang – it’s so good. I have you heard of it? It has a bit of sweetness to it as well as heat.
I do not live in the USA and I do not know what “Sriracha” sauce is? I would assume it is a hot sauce, Is that correct?
Yes, that is correct. Sriracha is an Asian-style hot sauce.
