2 Cans Full Fat Coconut Milk
2-4 Tsps of Avocado Oil

Make & Marinate the Beef
Add the beef to a large bag
Pour into the bag the remaining marinade ingredients, massaging to incorporate everything around the meat
Wrap tightly and place in the fridge for 4 hrs, up to 8hrs.
Make the Curry Paste
In the base of a food processor add all the Paste ingredients and pulse to blend everything into a thick but thoroughly chopped paste.
Add additional salt or chilis for more spice / saltiness! (This mixture should be hot and salty!! The coconut milk will cool it’s flavors down quite a lot.
Cook & Curry!
Heat a large Sauté pan over high heat, with 2 Tsp of Avocado Oil
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry
Cook the beef in the Saute pan in batches, 2-3 depending on your pan size (don’t over crowd the pan to ensure good browning of the beef without over cooking it)
Remove the last of the cooked beef and set aside (The beef will keep cooking so best to undercook it in the pan)
In the same pan add the yellow onion and brown its edges lightly (add a bit more avocado oil if the pan has dried out)
Remove the cooked onion and place with the beef
In the same pan add the yellow and green pepper, cooking to slightly tender (The peppers will keep cooking so better to lean towards under cooking)
In the same pan, add the snap peas, mini corn, and water chestnuts sautéing briefly to soften them but preserving their crunch
In the base of a large stock pot or boiling pot, add the chicken fat (butter or beef tallow can work as well) and melt it over medium heat
Add about a cup of the prepared curry paste in the bottom of the pot, and stir cooking for about 3-4mins until deeply fragrant
Stir in the chicken stock and the coconut and bring to a low simmer (This is a good time to taste for salt and heat (add salt and more curry paste depending on your desired final flavor)
Stir in the cooked beef, and all the vegetables into the green curry, and serve!
Top with extra lime, cilantro, and fried onions!
