Beef in Red Curry Sauce

This beef in red curry sauce can be made fairly quickly and is absolutely delicious. You will need to get Thai red curry paste for this recipe which is readily available at grocery stores in the Asian aisle.

This dish can be spicy but does not need to be too hot. The amount of heat that it delivers will depend on the amount of curry paste that you add to it. So if you want really hot add more and vice-versa. We will be making this with coconut milk to give it a nice authentic flavor. Please make sure you are using unsweetened milk and not coconut cream. It will make or break your dish.

You will find that the sweetness of the squash and the corn counter beautifully with the spice of the red curry. I also added fresh cucumber to this which gives it a nice crunch.

Serve this beef in red curry sauce with some steamed white rice to mop up all the sauce.

Here is what you are going to need for this delicious beef in red curry sauce:

2 cups diced squash of your choice
