Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions
1
In a small bowl combine chili paste, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and lime juice until incorporated, set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring often, about 6 minutes.
3
Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the beef and cook until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
4
Pour the sauce mixture along with the fresh basil (reserving a fresh few leaves for the top) and continue cooking until basil starts to wilt.
