    Beef Coconut Curry 5 Ingredient Recipe from 5DollarDinners.com

    There’s something about coconut milk curries that just perfectly cooks beef and chicken…especially when the meat is sliced uber-thin. With this curry, you want to “shock” the small amount of juices that are in the thin slices of beef by sautéeing them over high heat. Then you stir in the coconut milk and curry powder and simmer the beef in the coconut milk…further softening it and giving it time to soak in the deep flavors from the sauce.

    If you want to add more flavors to this, I’d suggest minced garlic or minced ginger (from the jar, available on the Asian aisle…but don’t buy it just for this!) But it’s delicious as it’s written 🙂

    Also…look closely in the meat case because you might find pre-sliced sirloin strips. My store usually has them and it’s just nice to have one less step to do to get dinner ready!

    Enjoy!!!

      Dang! That looks fantastic – I love curry, but my wife can’t stand it, ha! I may have to stick with the Thai restaurant at lunch. Looks like a yummy recipe though Erin!

      Greetings Erin.

      I have been gluten-free for more than five years. It all started when my wife was having fertility issues. Her doctor advised her to try a gluten-free diet. I supported her by also going gluten-free. I felt like a different person after two days. I cannot believe it.
      Previously, I was a fiend for cookies, cakes, pies,pizza, pasta, etc.
      I never have cheat days. Typically, cross-contamination does not bother me. However, when a gluten food gets past me, I feel it immediately.

      I’m curious what brands of gluten-free pasta you can recommend? I do not like Schar or N-Joy.
      Ronzoni and Barilla are okay.
      So far, I have not found a favorite.

      Thank you for offering so many wonderful gluten-free choices.
