Preparation

Step 1

Put half the coconut milk into a Dutch oven. Heat the milk gently, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil and separate.

Add the red curry paste and cook over a medium heat until fragrant. Add the fish sauce, brown sugar and lemon grass.

Continue to cook until the colour of the sauce deepens.

Add the remaining coconut milk and bring back to the boil.

Add the beef and ground peanuts. Cook for 8-10 minutes.

Add the sliced chillies, lime leaves and the basil (reserving a few for garnish).
