Instructions:
- In a large pan or wok, heat the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice to the curry, giving it a fresh, zesty kick.
- 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.
