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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or short ribs are good choices for stewing, as they have a lot of connective tissue that will break down and tenderize during cooking.
- Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop flavor and color. You can brown the beef in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality red curry paste: This is the key ingredient in the stew, so make sure to choose one that is flavorful and aromatic. You can find red curry paste at most Asian grocery stores.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers are all good choices for red curry beef stew. You can also add other vegetables, such as bok choy or green beans, if you like.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will give the flavors time to develop and the beef time to become tender.
- Serve the stew with rice or noodles: Red curry beef stew is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with bread or roti.
