Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Sear beef in batches 90 seconds per side without stirring—edges should brown. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add curry paste to the pan, stir constantly until fragrant, ~60 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the bell pepper into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Add pepper and beef back to the pan, simmer 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze lime juice over top, stir in zest. Serve over rice with fresh cilantro if you have it.
