Burmese-style Beef Curry with Rice Noodles


Hot and spicy, this creamy beef curry is a doddle of a recipe to make and so tasty.

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp groundnut oil
  • 2 shallots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp shrimp paste
  • 300ml coconut milk
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, chopped
  • ½ tsp soft brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander seed
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)

For the paste:

  • 4 garlic clove, crushed and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 handful chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 handful chopped thai basil leaves
  • 160g vermilcelli rice noodles

Method

  1. Blend all the paste ingredients together. Heat a wok over a high heat, add the oil and stir fry the shallots with the shrimp paste for less than 1 minute.
  2. Add the paste ingredients and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the steak and stir fry for 2 minutes until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in the coconut milk.  For a thinner sauce you could also add a little chicken stock at this stage or for a creamier curry you could add some coconut cream.
  4. Add the lemon grass, the brown sugar, ground coriander, and fish sauce.
  5. Bring to the boil and sprinkle with a handful of chopped fresh coriander and Thai basil leaves. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions, drain and place in 2 serving bowls. Ladle the curry over the noodles and serve immediately.

    How much beef? Enough for two, thinly sliced to brown in two minutes I suppose but NOT included in these ingredients. Sounds great. Will definitely try it.
