Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips and cook for 7 mins until golden brown. then remove from the pan and leave to one side.
- Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside. Cook for longer if necessary.
- Thinly slice the shallots. Halve the tomatoes. Reheat the pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the shallots and tomatoes, then cook for 5-7 mins until softening. Add a splash of water if the veg gets too dry. Add the massaman paste and cook for 1 min, then add the creamed coconut and 200ml hot water. Simmer for 4-6 mins, until the sauce has reduced.
- Rinse the spinach. Trim and cut the green beans into 2cm pieces. Once the curry sauce has reduced, add the green beans to pan and cook for a further 3-4 mins, until the beans have softened. Add the spinach and beef strips to the pan and cook together for another 2 mins, until the spinach has wilted. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
- Add the juice from half a lime (or to taste) to the curry and mix well. Serve in bowls with the rice and garnish with the remaining lime wedges.
