Yield: 5 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1 pound beef top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk, divided
1 tablespoon red curry paste
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish or soy sauce
8 cups chopped bok choy
1 small sweet red pepper, sliced
1/2 cup salted cashews
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
Hot cooked brown rice

Directions

In a large skillet, saute beef in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Spoon 1/2 cup cream from top of coconut milk and place in the pan. Add remaining oil; bring to a boil. Add curry paste; cook and stir for 5 minutes or until oil separates from coconut milk mixture.
Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce and remaining coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add bok choy and red pepper; return to a boil. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cashews, cilantro and beef; heat through. Serve with rice. Yield: 5 servings.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with regular (full-fat) coconut milk. Light coconut milk contains less cream.

Who would have thought such a wonderful chinese recipe would come from the East side. I can understand this, as the best Chinese restaurant I ever ate at was in East Grand Forks. This recipe was so yummie and filling too. My only suggestion to make it easier, is make it in a wok.
