This curry is deliciously rich and thicker than other Thai curries. I used the ready-made Thai curry paste which you can get from the Asian supermarket. As this is a quick curry dish so be sure to use good qulity meat. I used sirlion for this dish or rump steak will be good too.Ingredients :
1 lb. beef (rump steak or sirlion), cut into thin strips
3 Tbs. red curry paste
3 kaffir lime leaves (torn)
1 fresh chili ( cut into strips)
1 lemongrass (bruise it)
2 cups coconut milk
1/3 cup water
2 Tbs. palm sugar
3 Tbs. fish sauce
1/2 cup of ground peanuts
Salt to taste
1. Put the coconut milk into medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat, add the curry paste, kafir lime leaves, lemongrass and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
2. Put in beef strips and cook for 5 minutes. Then add in the water and cover to simmer.
3. Meanwhile in a bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients except for chili. Add this to the curried beef, and simmer about 15 minutes or until most of liquid evoporated. Add in fresh chili, stir well, and remove from the heat.
4. Ready to serve. It is best served with steamed rice.
I'm submitting this recipe to Weekend Wokking , a world-wide food blogging event created by Wandering Chopsticks celebrating the multiple ways we can cook one ingredient. The host this month is Preciouspea and the secrect ingredient is Coconut. The round up will be on the 1st October 2008 so do check out her blog.Note : Sorry for the poor picture quality. The weather is really bad and gloomy and I just took a few shot of it.
