Ingredients

Braised Beef

2.2 lb (1 kg) boneless beef blade roast, cut into 4 pieces
1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cans (14 oz/398 ml each) light coconut milk (see note)
1/3 cup (75 ml) red curry paste
1 lime slice
1 tbsp (15 ml) fish sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Vegetables

2 Chinese eggplants, cut into ¾-inch (1.5 cm) rounds
¾ lb (340 g) thin green beans
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
Thai basil or cilantro leaves (optional)

Preparation

Braised Beef

In a large pot over high heat, brown the meat in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes while stirring. Add the coconut milk, curry paste, lime, fish sauce, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove the lime from the pot and compost. Freeze at this point, if desired.

Vegetables

Place a steaming basket in the bottom of another large pot. Add enough water to just reach the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring to a boil. Place the eggplants and green beans in the steamer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
Add the vegetables to the pot of braised beef and simmer for 2 minutes while stirring.
Serve the meat with the vegetables. Garnish with the bell pepper and Thai basil, if desired. Delicious served with rice.

Note from Ricardo

If you don’t have light coconut milk on hand, use 1 can of regular coconut milk and add the same quantity of water.
