Whenever I need to kick it up a notch with my lunches, I usually turn to Thai food. With its perfect balance of sweet, savory, acid, and spicy, Thai food will get me out of a food funk. This easy Thai basil beef stir fry is perfect with some steamed jasmine rice. You can make a large batch and eat for a few days. So easy and so delicious! —jennskitchendiary
