Coconut Curry Beef Rice Bowls 🍚

This is the bowl I make when I want takeout but also want to feel good tomorrow. Ginger garlic beef, red curry coconut broth, all over rice. So freaking good.

RICE
1 cup basmati

BEEF
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 lb lean ground beef (93/7)
1.5 tbsp each minced ginger + garlic, divided

Sauce: 2 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2.5 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1/4 tsp black pepper

BROTH
2 tbsp red curry paste
1 tsp yellow curry powder
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

TOPPINGS
Cucumber, green onion, sesame seeds, extra cilantro, chili crunch if you like heat

HOW:
1. Rice: boil in salted water like pasta for 10 min, drain, put the lid on and let it steam.
🥥 Want more flavor? Simmer rinsed rice with 3/4 cup coconut milk + 3/4 cup water + a pinch of salt, covered on low for 15 min, then rest 10. (Grab a second can for this.)
2. Shake cornstarch + 1/4 cup broth in a jar until smooth. Add soy, sugar, sesame oil, pepper. Shake again.
3. Brown the beef in coconut oil on high. Let it sit a few minutes before breaking it up, that’s where the flavor is.
4. Drop to medium. Add 1 tbsp each garlic + ginger for 30 sec. Pour in the sauce and stir 1-2 min until it thickens and clings. Scoop the beef out, leave the fat in the pan.
5. Low heat: rest of the garlic + ginger for 20 sec, then curry paste + powder for about a minute.
6. Whisk in the coconut milk, scraping up the brown bits. Add broth, boil 1 min, then back to low. Stir in soy, juice of half the lime, and cilantro. Taste and adjust.
7. Rice in bowls, beef on the side, broth ladled around. Top with everything and serve with lime wedges.

Serves 3-4. Save this one for a weeknight 🫶

Crispy prosciutto, smoky cauliflower, loads of parm, and only 20 minutes!!!! 🍝⏰

Make this for your next weeknight dinner that’s impressive, but oh so simple.

Ingredients:
* 12 oz pasta of choice
* 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
* 4-6 slices prosciutto
* Olive oil
* Red pepper flakes
* 2, 14 oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
* 2 Tbsp Basil, chopped

1. Boil a large pot of salted water.
2. Meanwhile, heat a 10- to 12-inch cast iron or wide, deep skillet over medium-high. No oil. Lay the prosciutto in a single layer and cook 2 minutes per side, until curled and browned. Move to paper towels. Leave the rendered fat in the pan.
3. Cook the pasta to al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
4. Add the oil to the same pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the cauliflower and a big pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Stir every minute or so until charred all over and just short of tender.
5. Lower the heat to medium. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant. Add the tomatoes with their juices and another big pinch of salt. Simmer 3 minutes. Taste and salt as needed.
6. Toss in the pasta, loosening with the reserved water a tablespoon at a time until coated. Serve in bowls topped with crumbled prosciutto, basil, and parm. Enjoy!
