Saw this on TV a couple weeks ago and made it. It was deeelicious 
although instead of ground beef, I finely chopped some top round slices. Easy, easy recipe 
<span style="font-weight: bold">Thai Beef</span>
Serves 6
* 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
* 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
* Coarse salt
* 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce
* 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 3 garlic cloves, chopped
* 3 long hot peppers or red jalapeno chiles, seeded and sliced into 2-inch matchsticks
* 1 1/4 pounds ground beef sirloin
* 1 cup loosely packed torn fresh basil leaves
* Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, 3/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.
2. When rice is almost done, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl; set aside. Heat a cast-iron skillet or wok over high. Add oil and heat; add garlic and half the chiles. Cook, stirring constantly, 15 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until completely browned, about 4 minutes. Add soy mixture and cook 30 seconds. Add basil and remaining chiles and stir to combine. Serve beef over coconut rice with lime wedges.
