Method one step at a time, with timers in the app

  1. Start rice. While water comes to a boil, core and cut pepper into 1/2 inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Finely chop the chili pepper - remove seeds for less heat.
  2. Add rice to boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and absorbed, about 12-14 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.⏱ 12 min
  3. While rice cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of oil, then the beef and garlic puree. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains (4-5 mins).⏱ 4 min
  4. Add peppers and onions to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened (2-3 mins). Add mild curry paste, red curry base, soy sauce, peanut butter, and the minced chili pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant (1 min).⏱ 2 min
  5. Add coconut milk to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until curry thickens slightly (2-3 mins).⏱ 2 min
  6. Fluff rice with a fork. Add half the cilantro and season, then stir to combine. Divide rice between plates and top with beef curry. Sprinkle peanuts and remaining cilantro over top.
