  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak and Oil

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 pound NY Strip Steak, cut into strips

Vegetables

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Curry Sauce

  • 2 (15-oz) cans full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 4 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tsp sea salt (to taste)

Optional Garnish

  • Thai basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Sear Steak: Heat one tablespoon of avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until sizzling hot. Add the steak strips in a single layer and brown them without stirring for a few minutes. Stir and continue browning until golden brown on the outside but not cooked through. Transfer steak to a plate and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions: If needed, wipe out the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Heat over medium-high heat, then add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add chopped carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Add Curry Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the full-fat coconut milk, fish sauce (if using), and red curry paste. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a full boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables reach desired tenderness, about 8 minutes.
  5. Combine Steak with Curry: Add the seared steak back into the skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook just until the steak is heated through. Stir in fresh Thai basil leaves if desired.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with sea salt and black pepper as needed. Optionally add more curry paste or a drizzle of lime or lemon juice. Serve hot over steamed brown or white rice, cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, or with fried rice for an extra comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use a large skillet with deep sides or a wok for best results to accommodate the volume of ingredients.
  • Do not overcook the steak strips when searing; they will finish cooking in the curry sauce.
  • Fish sauce adds umami but is optional for a less pungent flavor.
  • Fresh Thai basil leaves add a fragrant note but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Adjust curry paste quantity to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with rice of choice to balance the creamy, spicy curry.
