Spicy Sun Dips and Rubs: Spicy Orange Beef
“This is one Grand-daddy of Spicy beef recipes that you have to try! I came across this dish while traveling the jungle waterways of Cambodia looking for my lost love, Cocoa. My guide there in Khmer Krom says that it is such a delicacy, the folks saved it for weddings and big celebrations. I almost died on that trip, so you better try it and tell me what you think!” – Spicy 2008
