Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons cold water and 2 teaspoons cornstarch to make a slurry. Set aside.
-
Step 2.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound sirloin or top round steak, trimmed and cut against the grain into ¼-inch-thick strips, and cook, stirring, until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain off any water or fat from the skillet.
-
Step 3.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons red curry paste and 3 medium cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Stir in 1 pound haricots verts (thin green beans), trimmed and cut in half, and season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Step 5.
Pour in 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk and ¾ cup chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the green beans are just tender, about 8 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Stir in the reserved cornstarch slurry and simmer, stirring gently, to thicken the sauce, about 1 minute.
-
Step 7.
Add 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with ¼ cup fresh Thai basil leaves. Serve with baguette for dipping.
