Directions
-
In a small bowl, mix the ground coriander and cumin seeds with the Mussaman curry paste to form a smooth, fragrant paste.
-
Heat the coconut cream in a large wok or deep skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the oil begins to separate and surface, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add the curry paste mixture to the hot coconut cream. Reduce heat to low and fry gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste is fragrant and the oil separates further.
-
Increase heat to medium-high. Add the beef sirloin strips to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned on the outside but still pink inside.
-
Pour in the thin coconut milk, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Stir well to combine.
-
Add the torn kaffir lime leaves. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or sugar if needed. Remove from heat.
-
Garnish with sliced red chili and crushed peanuts if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice.
