Instructions
Start by cooking the jasmine rice: Rinse 300 grams of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 600 ml of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for another 10 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add 3 tablespoons of red Thai curry paste to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the 500 grams of thinly sliced beef to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned.
Pour in 400 ml of coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Add 5 finely sliced lime leaves, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 100 grams of trimmed green beans, and 200 grams of drained bamboo shoots to the curry. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender crisp.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Just before serving, stir in a handful of fresh basil leaves.
Serve the beef Thai curry hot over the cooked jasmine rice.
