First 30 seconds

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with crying tiger steak. That's right. I'm very excited to be sharing this incredible Thai steak dish. And while nobody knows for sure why the tiger was crying, if there's any weeping that happens after you make this, I'll guarantee those will be from tears of joy. So, with that, let's go ahead and get started by making our marinade, which starts with a whole bunch of crushed garlic, plus a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
