Green Curry Beef

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp green curry paste
• 13.5 fl oz coconut milk
• 8 oz green beans, trimmed
• 4 leaf kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ cup basil leaves

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot or wok, heat 2 tbsp of the coconut milk over medium until it bubbles, about 2 minutes. Add the 3 tbsp green curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. 2

   Pour in the remaining coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the 4 kaffir lime leaves, 2 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar, stirring to combine.

3. 3

   Add the 1 lb beef slices and simmer gently until the beef is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. The beef should be tender and the sauce slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Stir in the 8 oz green beans and cook until they are bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. The beans should still have a slight bite.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup basil leaves until they wilt. Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice if desired.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning with extra fish sauce or sugar if needed. For extra heat, add sliced red chilies or a pinch of chili flakes.
