Prepared by club member at December, 2012, meeting. This has a kick but the thick canned coconut milk tames the fire in the curry.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c all purpose flour
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lb ground beef, medium lean (80 or 85%)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil; more if needed
4 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp red curry paste; more to taste
1 c canned coconut milk (refrigerate the can, don't shake it, and use the thick cream from the top)
2 Tbsp chunky peanut butter
2 tsp fish sauce (nam pla); moe to taste
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar; more to taste
1 tsp chopped fresh mint or basil for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Put the flour on a plate. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on the beef and mix well. Shape the beef into small, firm balls about 1" in diameter; you'll get 32 to 40. Roll the meatballs in the flour, dusting off the excess.
  • 2. Line a plate with paper towels. In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil on high until it's hot. Fry the garlic until browned, about 1 minute; remove the garlic and set aside. Add the meatballs (in batches, necessary) and sear them on high heat, stirring and tilting the pan, until they're browned evently and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to the paper-towel lined plate to drain.
  • 3. If not oil remains in the pan, add another 2 teaspooons and fry the red paste so it realeases its aromas, about 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Add the reserve garlic and the cream of the coconut milk and then stir in the peanut butter. Cook and stir to get a smooth, uniform consistency, about 1 minute. Taste and add fish sauce, sugar or more curry paste to taste; the sauce shouldn't be too sweet.
  • 4. Return the meatballs to the pan with the sauce and simmer over low heat until they're hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the mint or basil sprinkled on top.
