Thai Beef With Red Curry

Thai Beef with Red Curry is literally exploding with flavor. The slow simmer on the beef makes it over-the-top tender.

And the combination of a little heat with a little sweet…can’t be beat. (Try singing that…it makes it even better).

This dish will warm you to the bone.




We love to start with a 2 to 2 1/2 lb cut of beef, such as chuck or round.

The meat is good and marbled and will become fork tender as it slowly simmers in the fragrant sauce.

Mmmmmm…beef.




Thai red curry paste is now available in the Asian section of most major super markets.


It is super flavorful, and adds ease in preparing this dish. You see (and smell) the deep delicious red curry as it simmers with the veggies.





Coconut milk is very common in Thai dishes, as it adds a richness and balance that is truly something special.

Be sure to get unsweetened coconut milk.


Creamy and just so delicious.




Bamboo shoots can also be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets now days.

They add a wonderful texture to this incredible Thai Beef with Red Curry.


They are the perfect match for the super tender beef.

We just love bamboo shoots in our Asian dishes.




And of course you’ve got to go with Jasmine rice.

This is the perfect rice to go with this incredible dish.

Simply follow the instructions on the package, and you’re good to go.




You’ll need a little time (well, a few hours), to cook this nice and slow.

But trust us, it’s well worth the wait.


And it’s even better the next day after the flavors continue to meld. Oh…just look at this Thai Beef with Red Curry:Thai beef with red curry sauce on a wooden spoon


The flavor of this Thai Beef with Red Curry is one of our all-time favorites.

So comforting and it really does warm you up and makes you feel all cozy and delicious.


Oh, yes…how about a nice big bowl of yumminess?
