Main

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base: In a large pan over medium heat, simmer 1/2 cup of the thickest part of the coconut milk until it bubbles and oil begins to pool at the edges.

  2. 2

    Bloom the Paste: Add the red curry paste to the pan, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until the aroma is pungent and the color darkens slightly.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef: Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sliced beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to coat evenly in the curry paste.

  4. 4

    Simmer: Pour in the rest of the coconut milk. Add the bell pepper and thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve: Stir in fish sauce and palm sugar. Taste to balance salty, sweet, and spicy. Serve hot over steamed rice.
