Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1 lime
- 100 ml water
- 300 grams jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Set aside.
Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion thinly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine well with the curry paste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the sliced beef, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce.
Cook the beef for 5-7 minutes until it is tender and cooked through.
Add the bell peppers, onion, and water to the pan, stirring well. Let simmer for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain some crunch.
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the curry for added brightness.
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice on the side.
