Spicy Coconut Beef

Submitted by Vogon Poet

I threw together this recipe with some inspiration from other Thai recipes on GWS. It turned out quite well, so I decided to post it here. I found this meal to have a pretty nice kick to it; if you don't care for particularly spicy food you should use less sriracha.

Ingredients

• one half pound of beef
• half of an onion
• two cloves garlic, minced
• one teaspoon grated ginger
• 125 mL coconut milk
• two tablespoons sriracha
• one tablespoon fish sauce
• one tablespoon lime juice
• one tablespoon brown sugar
• one teaspoon corn starch
• peanut oil
• two cups (cooked volume) rice

Method

• Put the coconut milk, sriracha, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and corn starch in a bowl.

• Mix them together, then add and mix in the garlic and ginger.

• Cut the beef into thin strips.

• Put the beef into the sauce mixture.

• Cut up the onion. Also, if you have not cooked the rice, you should start that cooking by now.

• Put some peanut oil in your skillet and heat over medium heat, then put the onion in.

• After a couple minutes, add the beef and sauce.

• Cook over medium heat while stirring regularly until the beef is all cooked.

• Serve over rice and enjoy!

• I didn't have any this time but cilantro makes a nice garnish.
