Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — Choose a tender cut of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin, for the best results. Trim any excess fat before cooking.
• Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich sauce. Shake the can well before opening to ensure the coconut cream is well mixed.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add a sliced chili pepper to the dish.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the simmering sauce until thickened.
• Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice, such as carrots or snow peas, to enhance the dish's nutritional value and add more color.
