    You are just going to love these Spring Time Thai Beef Bowls because we marinated the beef overnight and let the aromatics permeate the beef and tenderize the beef.

    Can you guess what cut of beef we used to make these beef bowls? We bet you would have never guessed we used a boneless chuck roast. You bet! You may ask why boneless chuck roast that is because they had a buy one and get one or lesser value free at the local grocer. How awesome is that?!

    We cooked one of the boneless chuck roasts using our Super Easy Slow cooker Italian Beef Roast.  The next day we used the leftovers from the Crazy Easy Italian Slow Cooker Pot Roast to make our Beef French Vegetable Mushroom Onion Soup.

    However, we wanted something lighter and brighter to celebrate spring. We sliced this boneless chuck roast into super thin slices and marinated with all the delicious Thai aromatics for 24 hours for some amazing super tender beef.

    Of course, you can use beef tenderloin for super tender beef and you could marinate for an hour and you are good to go. The tougher the cut of beef the longer you will need to marinate.

    Spring Time Thai Beef Buddha Bowls are full of the traditional spicy, savory, sour and sweet essence of Thai cuisine. Each bit of these bowls is going to awaken your senses.

    We started out with a little scoop of brown rice. You can also use white jasmine rice or even cauliflower rice if you are watching your carb intake. Next we layered on slices of grilled marinated Thai beef, stir fried radishes, carrots and fresh peas. Then we drizzle on our dynamo Thai dressing sauce and top with fresh cilantro, mint, chilis, lemongrass and toasted peanuts.

      For me this moreish dish is largely dependent on your Thai dressing . . . after all most other ingredients are 'negotiable' ! A quick and ideal lunch for me in the middle of a busy work day having grabbed, sliced and marinated the first piece of tender beef I could find in the fridge after breakfast !! You won't mind if I call it a Buddha Plate, will you . . . one sometimes does wonder about the birth of some of the names we freely use these days . . . 🙂 !!!

        Thank you Eha. This Buddha plate is really ALL about the dressing because everything else depends on what is in your crisper. Wishing you a super week ahead or at least a dry one.
