Here’s a recipe for Thai-Style Beef and Vegetable Curry with Coconut Milk and Rice:
Thai-Style Beef and Vegetable Curry with Coconut Milk and Rice
Servings: 4-6 people
Ingredients:
For the curry:
- 1 lb beef strips (sirloin or ribeye), sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, and green beans)
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh Thai basil leaves, for garnish
For the rice:
- 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the rice: Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and drain well. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir to coat the rice with oil. Add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff the rice with a fork and season with salt.
- Make the curry: Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the saucepan and set aside.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables to the saucepan and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the coconut milk, beef broth, fish sauce, brown sugar, cumin, and turmeric powder to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Add the browned beef back to the saucepan and bring the curry to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the curry over the cooked rice, garnished with fresh Thai basil leaves.
