Notes
Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. minced garlic, cut vegetables, etc.
Use a splatter screen if necessary, in the first step, to guard against coconut milk bubbling up.
Thai curries are generally eaten with rice. If you're not planning on eating the curry with rice, you might need to adjust the salt by reducing the quantity of fish sauce.
You may substitute chicken for the beef. Be sure to adjust the cooking time.
* I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes.
** If using purchased tamarind paste, the quantity required may vary. If using Tamicon brand, start with 1 tsp; if using Thai tamarind concentrate, start with 1 Tbsp. Adjust for more at the end.
