Ingredients
1 pound beef steak, such as sirloin, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch dice
1 can coconut milk
2 tablespoons Panang or other Thai red curry paste
1-2 tablespoons fish sauce, to taste
2 tablespoons palm sugar
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, lightly crushed
3-4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, slivered
1 fresh Thai or other red chile pepper, seeded and slivered
Cooked jasmine rice
Directions
Set aside about 3 tablespoons coconut milk. Heat the rest in a medium saucepan or wok until small pools of oil appear on the surface. Add the curry paste and stir well to incorporate. Cook until aromatic, 4-5 minutes. Add the beef and simmer until nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper, fish sauce, and sugar. Let simmer for a few minutes, then taste, adding fish sauce or sugar as needed. Add kaffir lime and simmer until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and top with peanuts, chile pepper, and fresh basil leaves if using. Spoon the reserved coconut milk over top and serve with rice.
