You have earned a day off and another one of my go-to recipes. I usually make a large quantity of this on a Sunday and eat it over the course of a week.
This is staple in the post workout meal due to the ground beef and white rice, but mostly bc it is delicious.
Thai-Coconut Ground Beef & Rice
Ingredients:
1 cup leaks (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
2 teaspoon minced garlic (in a glass container)
3 pound GF ground sirloin
2 teaspoon Thai Kitchen (red curry paste)
2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 cups hot cooked white rice (rice steamer)
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. Add leeks and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and let cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef and cook until lightly browned. Stir in curry paste and tomato sauce; cook until half of liquid evaporates (about 2 minutes). Add milk, brown sugar, rind and lime juice and cook until slightly thickened. Once done, add the beef to a big bowl of white rice, mix together and this serves one.

[…] THAI-COCONUT BEEF & RICE […]
One of my favourites.
This is one of my staples as well. My wife loves it as well.
Made this over the weekend with good results. Was afraid the red paste would be too spicy/strong for my 4 year old, so did 1/2 portions of green, 1/2 of red. Followed recipe as RX’d otherwise. Turns out, both were winners. I would even go as far to say that doubling the paste portion is advisable if you like your flavors bolder.
Could you define what you mean by tomato sauce? Where I’m from, tomato sauce is actually ketchup 🙂 I’m sure there’s no ketchup in this recipe…
it’s a runny tomato puree, not “ketchup” 😉
