Description

This simple, versatile Thai green curry works with beef, pork, chicken, or seafood. Add veggies of your choice to make it your own.

Ingredients

1 pound beef flank steak
2 cups coconut milk, divided
3 tablespoons green curry paste
4 teaspoons Vietnamese hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups cooked rice

Directions

1 Slice beef against grain into 1/4-inch slices.
2 Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; whisk 1/2 cup coconut milk and curry paste together until simmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup coconut milk; return curry mixture to a simmer. Repeat with remaining coconut milk returning mixture to a simmer with each addition, 7 to 8 minutes altogether.
3 Stir chile paste and beef into curry mixture; simmer just until beef is slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in basil and sugar; cook until beef is soft and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve with cooked rice.
