RED THAI BEEF CURRY



Red Thai Beef Curry image

Here is a yummy red Thai curry recipe, it is also good made with lamb. I used Thai Kitchen brand, red curry paste. I do have a recipe for making your own from scratch which is great, and you can store the paste for up to 4 weeks in the fridge. As I didn't have any on hand I used a store bought one to save time and I have to say Thai Kitchen does do a good paste.

MEILING'S YUMMY THAI RED CURRY WITH BEEF



Meiling's Yummy Thai Red Curry With Beef image

I got this recipe from a Thai cooking class (taught by Meiling Dawson @ Orson Gygi) and modified it a little. It's very versatile and delicious. Sometimes I use tofu instead ofbeef or all veggies. I use whatever vegetables I have on hand... carrots, onions, peppers, broccoli, etc. Chicken can also be used or yellow curry (posted in a separate recipe... but the meats and curries are interchangeable). I serve it over cooked rice (I use 1 cup of brown rice which I boil for 20 minutes before adding 1 cup of white rice... for better health without sacrificing texture or flavor).

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons red curry paste (less for kid-friendly, more for "I love heat")
3/4-1 lb beef, cut into small strips (I use Top Sirloin and trim the fat, can sub tofu or use extra veggies for vegetarian)
2 (13 1/2 ounce) cans coconut milk (can sub regular milk and 1/2 T cornstarch for one can)
4 tablespoons fish sauce
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
lime zest from 4 lime (or 6 kaffir leaves, specialty asian market food)
2 medium potatoes (original recipe calls for 4 potatoes and no other veggies)
1 yellow pepper (can use red or orange or green)
3 medium carrots
1 medium onion

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pan on medium heat and add curry paste. Stir fry until fragrant.
  • Add beef and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, paprika, and lime zest or kaffir leaves.
  • Continue to simmer beef for about 10 minutes, then add potatoes.
  • Add other veggies about 5 minutes after potatoes.
  • Total cooking time after adding chicken to pan is ~30 minutes.
  • Serve with rice. I like to use brown rice because it is healthy. I cook the brown rice for about 20 minutes before adding white rice (I use calrose) -- it makes a great mixture that is much healthier than plain white rice.
  • Notes on ingredients --
  • Curry: I have found the brand Mae Ploy is sold in generous sizes and is very reasonably price (it comes in a 14 oz round cardboard carton which is refrigerated after opening and lasts a LONG time, and I paid about $2.50 in an asian market).
  • Fish Sauce: I have been very happy with the asian market brand Viet Huong Three Crabs Brand (there's a white square with 3 green crabs on the center of the label).

THAI RED BEEF CURRY RECIPE



THAI RED BEEF CURRY RECIPE image

Categories     Pork     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients:
500g lean beef strips
1 tbsp thai red curry paste
1 tbsp fish sauce
300ml canned coconut milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp Brown sugar
1 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 red capsicum (large mild pepper)
80g button mushrooms
80g spinach
4 tbsp chopped basil

Steps:

  • Directions: Mix the beef strips with oil and garlic. Heat wok on high. Stir-fry the beef strips in batches 1 minute, removing each batch when cooked. Before returning beef strips to wok, add capsicum (sliced) and sliced mushrooms with a sprinkling of water. Stir for 2 minutes. Return beef strips. Add curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, chopped spinach and chopped basil. Toss to heat through. Then serve with boiled rice and fresh basil leaves. Serves 4.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut beef strips or thinly slice your own flank steak against the grain.
  • If you don't have red curry paste, you can substitute another type of curry paste, such as green or yellow. However, the flavor of the dish will be different.
  • To make the dish spicier, add more red curry paste or chili peppers. You can also use a hotter variety of chili peppers, such as serrano or habanero peppers.
  • For a creamier curry, add a dollop of coconut milk or yogurt before serving. You can also stir in some peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Serve the curry with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also serve it over a bed of lettuce for a refreshing and healthy meal.

Conclusion:

This red Thai beef curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef.
