Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Cook noodles in a separate pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef strips for 90 seconds per side without stirring. Remove and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, stir curry paste for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in coconut milk and broth; stir well.

  5. Step 5

    Return beef to the skillet and simmer for 4 minutes. Add cooked noodles and stir gently until coated.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze lime juice over the top, garnish with green onion, and serve immediately in bowls.
