Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a splash of oil in a wok over medium-high. Add shallots and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute until it darkens and smells aromatic.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in half the coconut milk, bring to a simmer, and cook until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add beef slices and cook, stirring, until just browned, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until beef is tender.

  6. Step 6

    Tear kaffir lime leaves and stir in. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice.
