Paleo Red Curry Beef

This quick and easy curry is a dinner winner in my house! It is mild and creamy, which means family friendly...if you want more kick, add a squirt or two of sirracha sauce to your bowl :)

For my paleo friends, serve it as is, on top of cauliflower "rice", baked sweet potato, whatever makes you happy. Not into paleo...serve it over steamed rice (that's how my hubby and kids  prefer it).

1 lb grass fed ground beef
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped (you can use any color pepper, it's up to you)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
3 tbsp. red curry paste
1 can organic coconut milk (full fat or low fat is cool)
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. coconut sugar
handful of fresh basil, roughly chopped

In a large skillet on medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through. Remove meat from skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Melt tbsp. of coconut oil in skillet. Add onions, pepper, garlic and ginger. Cook until veg softens and onions are golden. Add curry paste and stir to coat veg. Cook curry paste until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coconut milk, fish sauce and coconut sugar and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until sauce reduces and thickens, about 20  minutes. Add basil, stir and cook 1 more minute and serve...Enjoy!
