Crying Tiger Steak | Spicy Thai Grilled Steak | Food Wishes
Besides the very catchy name, this incredible grilled Thai steak dish features a super flavorful marinade and an equally impressive dipping sauce. You’ll see two versions using the same ingredients; a standard grilled steak method, and one where we char the steak for more intense flavor. You’ll also hear my theory for how crying tiger steak got its name. Enjoy!

I’m going to try this with one side dark & dangerous, and the flip side patted dry.
THANK YOU!! I’ve been looking for a recipe for this! One of my all time favorite steaks
How much was the NY strip?
Daaaaang! Looks great.
been watching you for years, still love the videos
Hot Thai Kitchen or Pailin's Kitchen from my area one of my favourite recipe sites.
Agreed. Full char. All day/Everyday. It's a Tiger! 🎉

You should have put a Mug of Mead as a watermark easter egg in the vid. Then you'd have had Crying Tiger Hidden Flagon!
I'll see myself out, chef.
Excellent video thank you
Great Grilled Steak!
been a huge fan for a number of years, but i have to say, your voice inflection is reaching the grating status. You're better than needing a gimmicky voice…
OMG a shout out to Pai our Vancouver girl.
Yum.
Isn’t the reason the char works because it’s only the sugar turning dark, not the meat/protein?
Looks incredible
What are those cucumbers? Have a recipe?
My Father learded this in Vietnam. I grew up with a version of this and am grateful.
I had to go check out Hot Thai Kitchen because of Chef John's shout-out. New subscriber now.
❤ Palin. That’s a collab I root for anyway.
The tiger is crying because you ruined this steak with cilantro.
Great recipe. But how about telling us alternatives to oyster and fish sauce for those that have allergies.
