Meilings Yummy Thai Red Curry With Beef Recipes

THAI BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Dry the beef with paper towels then season it with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the beef on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot.
• Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, curry paste, and fish sauce and scrape off the dark bits (the fond) from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the beef to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1 hour.
• Add the squash to the pot and continue to cook for 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Add the coconut milk and lime juice and season to taste with salt. Serve with Thai basil or cilantro on top.

MEILING'S YUMMY THAI RED CURRY WITH BEEF

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).
