LEMON BEEF CURRY

 

LEMON BEEF CURRY

 

Serves 4-6, but I've based it on 4. Modified from a recipe by James Ash.

1 Syn per serving

1 level tbsp. Thai red curry paste - 1 Syn
1 tsp. chilli flakes
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 onion, finely chopped - I use frozen because it softens better in Frylight.
700g extra lean stewing steak, all visible fat removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 beef stock pot
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 level tbsp. brown sugar - 3 Syns
1 tsp. light, salt-reduced soy sauce
1 tbsp. fish sauce - Blue Dragon nam pla is Free

Spray a large pan well with Frylight and heat the curry paste, chilli flakes, garlic and onion for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the beef and cook until browned all over.
Add the stock pot, 500ml of water, lemon juice, sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir well.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer very gently for 2 hours or until the beef is tender.
Season to taste.

Gorgeous served with plain boiled rice and, if I have any in, I scatter shredded spring onions/shallots over the top. Usually have it with a side of greens.
