Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced thinly
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon optional: red chili flakes, for heat
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sweetener. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet and mix well, coating the beef with the sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add the lime juice, basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for additional heat. Stir to combine.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired, perfect as a standalone meal or with a side of cauliflower rice for a complete keto dish.
