Meats Recipes -  Thai Red Beef Curry Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 3 tablespoons groundnut oil

  • 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 4 Kaffir lime leaves, shredded

  • 500 g/1 lb fillet of beef, cut into thin strips

  • 400 ml/14 fl oz coconut milk

  • 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

  • 2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar

  • coriander sprigs, to garnish (optional)

  • steamed rice, to serve

Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Add the red curry paste, ground coriander and cumin and the lime leaves. Cook over a low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.

  2. Add the beef strips to the pan, stir to coat them evenly in the curry paste and cook gently, stirring frequently for 5 minutes.

  3. Add half of the coconut milk to the pan, stir to combine and simmer gently for 4 minutes until most of the coconut milk has been absorbed.

  4. Stir in the remaining coconut milk with the peanut butter, fish sauce and sugar. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick and the beef is tender.

  5. Garnish with coriander sprigs, if using, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
