  • Author: Chef Lolytta

Description

A vibrant and flavorful rice bowl featuring tender curry-spiced beef, crisp vegetables, and a rich, creamy coconut peanut sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 3/4 of the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook the beef: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and curry paste, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in the remaining coconut milk, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3 more minutes.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top with the curry beef, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrots.
  4. Drizzle the coconut peanut sauce generously over each bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
