Ingredients:  
Savory beef with green beans, sweet basil and hot chili pepper is absolutely delicious!

2 cups water
1/2 lb green beans (may cut to an inch in length or leave whole)
1/2 lb beef sirloin, sliced thin (good with leftover steak too)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T Fish Sauce
Dash black pepper
1/2 T fresh lime juice
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 T Soy Sauce (2 packets = 1 T)
1/2 T sugar
2 T vegetable oil
2-4 chopped jalapenos (remove the seeds or keep a few. The seeds and flesh will increase the "heat" to the dish) to your taste
1/2 cup fresh Thai Sweet Basil leaves, chopped (toss in right before serving)

In 2nd grade, John Michael's class was studying Cambodia and the teacher sent home recipes to choose from and make for the class. Our family loved this one and have made it quite often since.
