This recipe does make very good leftovers. Reheat gently.
Serve with Cinnamon Rice.
| 2 cloves | garlic (sliced) |
| 1 | small fresh Thai green chili (chopped) |
| 1 small | white onion (chopped) |
| 1 cup | cilantro leaves |
| 1/2 cup | curly parsley |
| 1 Tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 | lime (juiced) |
| 1/2 tsp | ground cumin |
| 1/4 tsp | turmeric |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
| 16 ounces | beef top round (cut into 3/4 inch cubes) |
| 1 | can light coconut milk |
Place the garlic, chili pepper, onion, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper in a mini-chopper or blender and process until smooth.
Place the cubed beef in a bowl with the green curry paste. Toss the cubes to coat well and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (overnight is best).
When ready to cook place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and green curry sauce to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and stir until the beef is browned on the outside.
Add the lite coconut milk and stir. Cook for about 30 minutes over low-medium simmering until the sauce is thickened. Serve.

“Without curry, boiled rice can be very dull.”
-C. Northcote Parkinson, English author
The refrigerator light goes on...
You can make this as hot as you like and using the small green Thai chilies is the perfect way. This is a one chili recipe and is mild with just a bit of heat. Just like you see on menus and such, adding a chili will ratchet up the heat and I wouldn’t be able to eat more than a 3 chili version (but a lot of people would).
This is a meal that is more of a splurge. While I try to target a meal to have about 15 grams of fat or so and as low an amount of saturated fat as possible, the light coconut milk is a great alternative in having your curry and eating it too.
