Slice beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 2
Cook noodles in a separate pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4
In the same skillet, stir curry paste for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in coconut milk and broth; stir well.
