Beef curry is a dish of meat in a sauce made of spices and vegetables. Red beef curry, also known as Gaeng Daeng in Thai, is a staple in Thai cuisine and a must-try for curry enthusiasts. It derives its vibrant red color from the use of red chilies or red curry paste, offering a perfect balance of flavors, ranging from sweet and tangy to slightly spicy. This mouthwatering curry is commonly served with steamed rice or bread. However, exploring different variations and discovering the perfect recipe that suits your taste preferences is a culinary journey worth embarking on.

RED THAI BEEF CURRY
Here is a yummy red Thai curry recipe, it is also good made with lamb. I used Thai Kitchen brand, red curry paste. I do have a recipe for making your own from scratch which is great, and you can store the paste for up to 4 weeks in the fridge. As I didn't have any on hand I used a store bought one to save time and I have to say Thai Kitchen does do a good paste.

RED CURRY BEEF STEW
This is based on a recipe from A Taste of Thai's "Red Curry Paste" packet. I've been making this for years (and just last night) and I really love it. I'm planning to make it again next week so will try to get a photo. My only reservation with it now-a-days is that my husband is on a low-sodium diet and I'll need to find a recipe for the red curry paste that has no salt added. When I run out of these packets I'll search for a low-sodium recipe and post an update. Note: be careful with the Thai fish sauce; you may want to go shy of 3 tablespoons if you've never had any before; although I like it, I've found that many people comment on the "fishy" (not in a good way!) taste it adds. I added the carrots, canned corn, and cilantro garnish.

MEILING'S YUMMY THAI RED CURRY WITH BEEF
I got this recipe from a Thai cooking class (taught by Meiling Dawson @ Orson Gygi) and modified it a little. It's very versatile and delicious. Sometimes I use tofu instead ofbeef or all veggies. I use whatever vegetables I have on hand... carrots, onions, peppers, broccoli, etc. Chicken can also be used or yellow curry (posted in a separate recipe... but the meats and curries are interchangeable). I serve it over cooked rice (I use 1 cup of brown rice which I boil for 20 minutes before adding 1 cup of white rice... for better health without sacrificing texture or flavor).

Steps:
- Heat oil in pan on medium heat and add curry paste. Stir fry until fragrant.
- Add beef and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, paprika, and lime zest or kaffir leaves.
- Continue to simmer beef for about 10 minutes, then add potatoes.
- Add other veggies about 5 minutes after potatoes.
- Total cooking time after adding chicken to pan is ~30 minutes.
- Serve with rice. I like to use brown rice because it is healthy. I cook the brown rice for about 20 minutes before adding white rice (I use calrose) -- it makes a great mixture that is much healthier than plain white rice.
- Notes on ingredients --
- Curry: I have found the brand Mae Ploy is sold in generous sizes and is very reasonably price (it comes in a 14 oz round cardboard carton which is refrigerated after opening and lasts a LONG time, and I paid about $2.50 in an asian market).
- Fish Sauce: I have been very happy with the asian market brand Viet Huong Three Crabs Brand (there's a white square with 3 green crabs on the center of the label).
THAI RED BEEF CURRY FOR TWO
This is a quick fix dinner that is oh so tasty. Recipe comes from Cook's Illustrated. Note that light coconut milk can be substituted for regular coconut milk, but the sauce will be slightly thinner. If you prefer your curry a little less spicy, reduce the amount of curry paste to 1 teaspoons.
