The name "Suea Rong Hai" translates to "Weeping Tiger" in English, and there are several theories about how the dish got its name. Some believe it refers to the spicy heat of the dish, which is said to be so intense that it could make a tiger cry. Others suggest that the name refers to the marbled appearance of the beef used in the dish, which resembles a tiger's stripes.

The preparation of Suea Rong Hai involves marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers. The beef is then grilled until it is medium-rare, and thinly sliced. The dipping sauce, known as "jaew", is made with roasted rice powder, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chili peppers. The dish is typically served with sticky rice and fresh vegetables.
