Thai Beef Curry
1 lb lean beef
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 tablespoon red curry paste or curry powder
3 each zucchini sliced 1/8 thick
1/4 cup broccoli florets broken
1 can coconut cream
1 tablespoon thai fish sauce
2 teaspoon lemon grass thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root grated
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 teaspoon coriander ground
1 teaspoon arrowroot dissolved in a little water
Sizzle the curry paste in the oil, in a large frying pan, then add the beef and onion. When
browned, add the lemon grass, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, then add a few shakes of fish sauce and
the coconut cream or milk with enough water to nearly cover the beef. Simmer until beef is cooked,
turn up heat, then add vegetables. Cover the pan and cook until vegetables are tender. Taste sauce
and add more fish sauce or red curry paste if necessary. If the sauce needs thickening add the
arrowroot. Stir in the coriander just before serving. Serve with lots of basmati rice.
