Ingredients:

2 tbsp peanut oil
30g
2 lb beef
910g
1 onion
160g
1/3 cup curry paste
72g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
1 tbsp brown sugar
16g
8 oz broccoli
230g
1 cup chinese peas
80g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil:
- In a large pan or wok, heat the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Cook the Beef:
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
- In the same pan, add the sliced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the Curry Paste:
- Add the 1/3 cup of green curry paste to the pan, stirring it into the onions and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes until the paste is well integrated and fragrant.
5. Combine with Coconut Milk:
- Pour in the 2 cups of coconut milk, stirring continuously to combine it with the curry paste mixture. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Season the Curry:
- Add the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
7. Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the broccoli florets and Chinese peas to the simmering curry. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
8. Return the Beef:
- Add the browned beef back into the pan, stirring to combine everything together. Allow the beef to simmer in the curry for another 3-5 minutes to ensure it's fully cooked and heated through.
9. Finish with Lime Juice:
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice to the curry, giving it a fresh, zesty kick.
10. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the curry.
- Serve the Thai green beef curry hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Tips:

- For an enhanced flavor, marinate the beef in a little bit of fish sauce and lime juice for 30 minutes before cooking.

- If you prefer a milder curry, you can reduce the amount of green curry paste or add more coconut milk to balance the heat.

- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as bell peppers or carrots, to make the curry even more colorful and nutritious.

- Serve the curry with a side of jasmine rice or Thai sticky rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

- For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the beef with tofu or a variety of mushrooms.

Your Thai green beef curry is now ready to be served. Enjoy this flavorful and aromatic dish over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or with traditional Thai sticky rice. The combination of tender beef, creamy coconut milk, and crunchy vegetables is sure to delight your taste buds. This recipe is a wonderful way to bring the delicious and exotic flavors of Thailand into your home kitchen.
