Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 medium Onion (sliced)
- 1 large Red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
- 100 grams Green beans (trimmed)
- 10 pieces Thai basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 whole Lime (cut into wedges)
- 4 cups Rice (cooked, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the beef into thin slices against the grain to ensure tenderness. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce and brown sugar. Mix until the sugar dissolves and set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side or until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry paste. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to release the aromas.
Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but remain crisp.
Pour in the coconut milk and the fish sauce mixture. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the curry sauce. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat the beef through.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more fish sauce or a pinch of sugar.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with Thai basil leaves, if using.
Serve the Thai Stir Fry Beef Curry hot with steamed rice and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
