Step 1
Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear beef cubes without stirring until browned on two sides, ~8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Stir constantly until fragrant and darkened slightly, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Return beef and any juices to the pot. Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine.
Step 5
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and braise for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Uncover and simmer 5 more minutes to thicken sauce. Stir in lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Step 7
Serve hot over steamed rice or with flatbread.
