If you tried my Black Pepper Chicken stir fry and liked it then your sure to like this one too.

There are a few different techniques to making it with beef, which I will teach you below.

First off the beef needs to be first tenderized first and foremost.

I learned to do this recipe through much trial and error and found the type of beef that works best is “flank steak” however you could use tenderloin or new york strip as well.

Then you will want to thinly slice the beef against the grain and allow it to marinade in baking soda for a minimum of 20 minutes to tenderizes it.

You can throw in practically any type of vegetable, I sometimes will use just peppers, other times I will use snow peas.

I hope you give it a try and if you do I would love to know what you think, just let me know in the comments below.

I like to serve this Black Pepper Beef with some cooked jasmine rice on the side, and will use a mini rice cooker to cook the rice.

Just set it and it will be ready when the dish is completed. I hope you give it a try there really isn’t much too it!

Authentic Thai Red Curry Recipe

This Authentic Thai Red Curry Recipe also has orange peppers and asparagus in it and is absolutely delicious!

This recipe is authentic because it has all the elements of a Red Thai Curry that you would find in your favorite Thai restaurant.

Now, your probably saying to yourself! Asparagus is not an authentic thai vegetable. And you would be right!

But the orange pepper is, so that mean’s you can omit the asparagus “but why would you” its delicious!

And use more peppers instead, such as yellow peppers.

I felt like experimenting a little today and so instead using just peppers, I added the asparagus!

Being I adore Thai food, I had 3 bowls to myself this time so it worked out.

Over the course of two days that is and my partner had one the night I made it for dinner.

AUTHENTIC RED THAI CURRY

Is made up of a quality thick coconut milk and ingredaints such as “Kaffir lime leaves”, Lemongrass”, and “Galangal” among other special Thai spices.

Finding these ingredients can be hard if your in North America, so buying a pre-made paste is ideal.

That is because we are using a product that contains all those Thai ingredients already in it.

Such a the one you will see below and is the only brand I will use. It is the best I have found, others are either to sweet or to spicy!

The ONLY brand I will use!!

How to Make Authentic Thai Red Curry Recipe

Start by washing and cutting up your vegetables and slice all according to the size you want.
Wash the chicken breasts, and slice them into thin pieces.
In pot, wok or pan, heat up the oil on medium high and in your “RED THAI CURRY PASTE” saute for 2 minutes till blended.
Next add in the coconut milk and cook for another 2 minutes on medium-high.
Add in your ginger/garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes all together.
Next add in the Chicken and allow it to simmer all together on medium-high for 10 minutes.
Then add in your fish sauce, and simmer for another 2 minutes over low heat.
Add your remaining vegetables. “Asparagus first” then the “Orange Bell Pepper” cook to tender around 6 minutes over medium heat.
Serve with fresh lime juice and a sprig of fresh basil over jasmine rice if desired.

The nice thing about cooking Red Thai curry is how simple it really is. I’m confident that when you prepare it once, you will then have all the necessary ingredients and know how to prepare it again.

Before you know it you will be a TOP CHEF in your kitchen, cooking Thai dishes like a Pro.

So you have two options when preparing this dish, either you can make the Red Thai Curry from scratch with the traditional Thai ingredients.

By crushing it all together in a mortar or you can buy the premade “Red Thai Curry Paste” which has all this in the paste, and is much easier.

This is the method we recommend, as it’s much easier. We hope you give it a try, and let us know how it turned out for you.

To make this popular curry you will want to get your hands on some fresh “Lemongrass”, “Galangal” and “Kaffir lime leaves” which can be found in most Asian stores.

Or purchase the pre made “Thai Red Curry Paste” which can also be found in most Supermarkets, Thai Red Curry paste has all the above ingredients in it needed to make this dish.

Then you will want to add in the lime last, you do not want to cook the lime because it will ruin the flavor.

Also if using fresh “Lemongrass”, “Galangal” and “Kaffir lime leaves” you will want to remove it before consuming the curry.

Want more heat, simply add in some Thai Bird’s eye chilies or Thai Chili Paste. Caution when preparing Bird’s Eye Chilies, these chilies are very hot and can burn the eyes.

Note: Want more heat, simply add in more Thai Red Curry Paste.

Passata Pizza Sauce

2 Comments

This Passata Pizza Sauce is my go to pizza sauce whenever I’m making a pizza from scratch.

It’s very fresh and authentic tasting and most people don’t realize it but having a good tomato sauce for your pizza is key to making a great pizza.

You don’t want to just slap on tomato paste and hope for the best.

Because that will give it a plain raw flavor that even the best ingredients can’t mask.

What you want is a simple yet delicious homemade sauce that is versatile and goes great on any pizza and I have just the recipe for that.

This is by far my favorite way to make homemade pizza sauce, it’s so simple too.

This recipe makes enough for two large pizzas, cut the recipe in half if you’re cooking just one.

HOMEMADE LOW SODIUM PIZZA SAUCE

Is possible when you make it like this from scratch. Because Passata sauce has no salt in it, you really can omit the salt all together if you choose.

Note: You can omit the anchovies paste if you like, but I encourage you to try it with. Stores in a airtight container up to 24 hours in the fridge.

I am so thrilled you are reading one of my recipes, if you made this recipe i’d love to hear about it! Thank you very much for reading and until next time see ya in the kitchen. Don’t want to miss a recipe? Sign up for our NEWSLETTER delivered right to your inbox!
