Beef is the most expensive at about 200 baht per kilo, this is from a local farm, not a grocery store. Recipe calls for 1/2 kilo, so cost for the beef is 100 baht or about $2.90, for 2 people this meal would probably last 2 meals, about 75 cents per meal per person minus other ingredients which are minimal.
