Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Working in two batches, sear beef 2 minutes per side without stirring. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add curry paste to the same skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk and broth, stirring to dissolve the paste. Return beef and any juices.
Step 5
Simmer 8–10 minutes until beef is tender and sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Stir in fish sauce. Squeeze lime juice over the top and taste; add more fish sauce or lime as needed.
Step 7
Divide among bowls and garnish generously with fresh basil. Serve with jasmine rice.
