Just reading the title makes me salivate, so it's proof this is a good dish, or I need to get my salivary glands checked out...think I will make a batch of this first...just to be sure.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
    • 1 tbsp grated palm sugar
    • 1 tbsp fish sauce
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 1 kaffir lime leaf, finely sliced
    • 1 kg beef chuck steak, cut into 2-cm cubes
    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 150 g or 1 medium brown onion, finely sliced
    • 125 ml beef or vegetable stock
    • 250 ml coconut cream
    • 200 g red capsicum, sliced
    • 1 bunch of English spinach, washed, trimmed
    • 2 tbsp Asian fried shallots (optional)
    • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Combine the paste, sugar, sauce, garlic and lime leaf in a large bowl. Add the beef and toss to coat. Stand for 30 minutes. 
  2. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Cook the beef in batches, until well browned all over; remove from pan. 
  3. Add the onion; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until softened. Return the beef to the pan with the stock. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until tender. Add the coconut cream and simmer, uncovered until it has thickened into a creamy sauce.  
  4. Just before serving, add the capsicum and spinach and cook for an additional minute or until wilted. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Scatter with the shallots and serve with steamed jasmine rice.
