beef Thai red curry
Ingredients
Step 1/10
- ¼ ginger
- 2 garlic
- 2 Thai chilis
- 1 lemongrass
- 2 shallots
prep the base of your dish by mincing ginger and garlic, slicing the shallots, scoring the lemongrass.
Step 2/10
sauté in vegetable or coconut oil till slightly golden.
Step 3/10
- 1 Makrut lime leaf
I like to score my lemongrass to get the maximum flavour out, you can cut 'X' shapes onto it without cuting all the way through. don't forget to add your Kafir lime leaf!
Step 4/10
- 300 g rib eye steaks
slice and sauté your beef separately, the key is to have a high heat and hot oil so that the meat fries and not boils, this will make a big difference in the texture of the meat.
Step 5/10
- 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
add your red curry paste, the more you add the Spicer the dish will be, this spice paste is bursting with flavour and heat.
Step 6/10
cook the paste in the pan for a few minutes to help bring out the flavours of the curry.
Step 7/10
- 250 ml coconut milk
pour in your can of coconut milk and stir. cook for another 4 minutes.
Step 8/10
- 1 tsp fish sauce
taste your sauce, add a dash of fish sauce and season with salt and pepper.
Step 9/10
- 4 Thai basil
- 4 cilantro
assemble your dish by adding the beef to the sauce and adding the Thai basil and coriander.
Step 10/10
- 1 tbsp sesame seed
- 1 basmati rice
serve hot with simple steamed basmati rice, finish with toasted sesame seeds.
Enjoy your meal!
