Note

For added heat, include 3 birdseye chillies, de-seeded, when sautéing the aromatics.

Enhance flavor with 1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced, and 2 teaspoons of Thai or Indonesian shrimp paste.

Add freshness with finely grated lime rind and 2 x 270ml light coconut milk, stirred in before thickening.

Include whole coriander plants (leaves, stems, and roots) for an authentic herbal note.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.

Ensure beef is sliced thinly for faster cooking and better texture.
