Preparation
Cook the beef by heating coconut oil (1 Tbsp) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef (6 oz) and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté aromatics by adding diced onion (½), garlic (1 clove), and ginger (1 Tbsp) to the same skillet. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Add vegetables and curry paste by stirring in red bell pepper (½), red curry paste (1 Tbsp), and turmeric (¼ tsp). Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine and simmer by returning the beef to the skillet. Pour in coconut milk (¼ cup), beef broth (½ cup), and lime juice (½). Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Serve by seasoning with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro (¼ cup) before serving.
