Thai Spicy Beef

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Meat - Steaks and Chops

Adpated from "Simply THAI Cooking" by Wandee Young and Byron Ayanoglu. This excellent beef curry is a bit time consuming to prepare. The complex seasonings, though, are a real treat, and make this dish worth the time invested. I've tweaked slightly as the portion sizes were a bit small in my family's opinion. Otherwise, the recipe is a published in the book.

This recipe is very tasty; I thought it was missing the peanut flavour I love about thai food. I also don't know what I'm going to do with almost a full can of coconut milk and bamboo shoots plus a lime with no zest on it. If you use this stuff a lot I'm sure it won't be a problem for you; but I just bought the milk and shoots for this recipe and am really not too sure what else to make with them and hate to just throw them out.
