Thai Beef Curry
Curry paste comes in a variety of heat levels, each with a distinct flavor. For this recipe, red curry paste is used, but you can easily substitute green curry. Green curry paste, made from a number of different ingredients, including Thai basil and green chilies, is milder than red curry, so you may want to add a bit more.
