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.

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.

THAI RED CURRY



Thai Red Curry image

No matter how hard I tried, I could never recreate the vivid, vivacious flavors of Thai curries at home. It wasn't until I was invited to a cooking class at the Thai Embassy in Los Angeles that I learned two of the secrets: "cracking" the coconut cream that accumulates at the top of the can of full-fat coconut milk (cooking out all the moisture so that the oil separates from the solids); and "blooming" the curry paste in the cracked coconut cream so that all those sleepy flavors of chiles and floral aromatics come back to life. With just these two techniques, my curries have gone from ho-hum to high-octane!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 small kabocha squash, peel left on, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
2 pounds cremini mushrooms, sliced
One 13.5-ounce can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated for an hour, not shaken
One 4-ounce can Thai red curry paste, preferably Maesri, or 5 tablespoons jarred red curry paste
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (I use a rasp)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons fish sauce
6 ounces green beans, sliced on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths
Zest of 1 lime plus 1 lime wedge
Handful fresh Thai basil
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Add 1 cup water to an electric pressure cooker and add the rack. Put the kabocha squash on the rack and follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid. Set to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. Follow the guide again for releasing pressure, then carefully remove the lid. Remove the squash from the pressure cooker and set aside until ready to use.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside until ready to use.
  • Set the same large skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully scoop the coconut cream (the thick, almost solid white stuff) out of the can of coconut milk into the skillet. Set aside the remaining liquid in the can. Cook the coconut cream until it resembles yogurt and is sizzling around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the curry paste, ginger and garlic. Turn the heat up to medium. Saute until the paste has deepened in color and the oil starts to separate from the paste, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, sugar, remaining canned coconut liquid and 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Taste; add more fish sauce if it's not salty enough. Stir well and bring to a boil. Add the squash, mushrooms and green beans. Stir well and turn the heat to low. Simmer until the green beans are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Finish with the lime zest, a squeeze of the lime wedge and the basil. Serve over rice.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stems
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon roughly chopped lemongrass (from root end)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste
10 cloves garlic
8 medium red chiles, such as Fresno
4 small shallots, halved
1 Sri Lankan (kaffir) lime leaf, torn into pieces (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
Kosher salt
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced into strips
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
Two 14-ounce cans coconut milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh Thai basil
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint
Juice of 2 limes

Steps:

  • For the red curry paste: In a food processor, combine the cilantro, oil, ginger, lemongrass, coriander, cumin, shrimp paste, garlic, red chiles, lime leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse to a consistent paste.
  • For the curry: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring well, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and increase the heat to high. Sprinkle the flank steak with a pinch of salt, then add it to the pot; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak and add the onions and peppers; cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, bring to a gentle boil, then add the curry paste back to the pot; stir well. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. (If the coconut milk breaks and separates, don't worry: it will come back together to a smooth consistency.) Add the chicken broth and fish sauce, and continue simmering until the sauce has a nice, gravy-like consistency, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the beef to the pot and finish with the cilantro, basil, mint and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
