About

This classic Asian dish makes a great change from good old beef casserole. It is quite hot and dry, but the addition of the coconut milk softens this. It is very delicious served with plain boiled rice.

Ingredients

3 lb 5 oz/1.5 kg braising steak, cut into 1 inch/ 2.5 cm cubes

Method

Put the chiles, lemongrass, shallots, and garlic into a food processor and whiz to form a paste.

Heat some vegetable oil in a large casserole and brown the beef. Remove the beef and set aside.

Using the same casserole, cook the paste, stirring all the time, for about 1 minute. Add the turmeric, lime leaves, tamarind concentrate, lime juice, and some black pepper and mix well.
