Friday, December 14, 2007 Thai Ground Beef

This has become one of our favorites to throw together with ground beef or turkey on those weeknights when you crave a little Thai.


a few thinly sliced green onions
about a tsp. of minced garlic
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. grated lime rind
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (optional)

3 cups rice or noodles

Coat a skillet with cooking spray. Add onions; sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add beef; cook 7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring to crumble. (Drain grease, if necessary.)
Stir in curry powder and tomato sauce; cook until half of liquid evaporates (about 2 minutes). Add milk and next 4 ingredients (through fish sauce); cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
I serve over rice or noodles. (Sprinkle fresh cilantro if you'd like and green onions.)
