NICE RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
BROWNED Beef
Place a pan or wok over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rump strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
WOK ON!
Return the pan or wok to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped peppers for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add ⅔ of the curry paste (to taste). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Add the coconut milk, the stock and 75ml of water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
HERE COMES THE FINISH LINE
Once the sauce has reduced, add the browned rump strips. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the Beef is cooked through. For a spicier curry, add the remaining curry paste. In the final 1-2 minutes, add ½ the rinsed Spinach. Season with a sweetener of choice, salt, pepper, and the lime juice (to taste). If the consistency is too thin for your liking, reduce for a bit longer.
DISH UP
Make a bed of the remaining Spinach. Top with the steaming white basmati rice and load it up with the Thai red beef curry. Garnish with the picked mint leaves. Well done, Chef!
