Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 350 g beef steak (12oz) (cut into thin slices) (you can also use chicken or duck breast, pork or shrimp
- salt & pepper
- 4 tbsp Maesri Prik Khing curry paste (or any Thai red curry paste)
- 1 shallot (thinly sliced)
- 200 g snake beans (7oz)(or green beans) Cut into 8cm/3" batons
- 5 kaffir lime leaves
- 2 fresh Thai red chillies (left whole, slit lengthways OR 2 dried Thai chillies) (optional)
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp palm sugar (or regular sugar)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until hot and just smoking. Add the steak, together with a pinch of both salt and pepper. Let this fry over a high heat for 2-3 minutes until charred. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the shallot and fry for 30 seconds before adding the curry paste - stir about 30 seconds before adding the beans, kaffir lime leaves and Thai chillies (if using). Splash in around 1 cup of water too.
- Stir everything and let the beans simmer in the pan for 3 minutes until just cooked through. The sauce should also have reduced a little.
- Return the beef to the pan with any juices along with the fish sauce and sugar. Stir fry for 30 seconds then remove from the heat, and you’re done!
- Serve with fluffy jasmine rice.
