Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Sear beef in batches 90 seconds per side without stirring—edges should brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add curry paste to the pan, stir constantly until fragrant, ~60 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Slice the bell pepper into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Add pepper and beef back to the pan, simmer 5 minutes.
Step 6
Squeeze lime juice over top, stir in zest. Serve over rice with fresh cilantro if you have it.
