Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
  • 2 ½ pounds beef (lean chuck or round, cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup Thai red curry paste
  • 2 (13 oz) cans unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) can bamboo shoots, drained and sliced (optional)
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions:
  • Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, searing each piece on all sides (about 5-6 minutes per batch). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onion until soft (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the red curry paste, letting it coat the onions and garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Pour in 1 ½ cans of coconut milk, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  • Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar, then bring to a gentle boil.
  • Return the seared beef to the pot, cover partially, and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens.
  • 15 minutes before serving, stir in the bamboo shoots and remaining coconut milk. Let cook until heated through.
  • Spoon the curry over warm jasmine rice and garnish with fresh mint.

Spicy, creamy, and perfectly balanced—this dish was made for the Dr. L Riesling.

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
  • ⅔ cup room-temperature water, divided
