  • Incorporate the basil at the very end to preserve its color and aroma (step 10)

Safety Warnings

  • Sunflower oil gets very hot; handle the pan with oven mitts.
  • Use the mortar carefully to avoid garlic splatters.
  • Cook the beef to an internal temperature of at least 71°C to eliminate bacteria.
