Beef & Green Bean

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb Lean Steak (cut into 2 in strips)
2 cups Fresh Green Beans
1/4 cup MIM Essential Sauce (Gluten Free)
1 clove Minced Garlic
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cornstarch
3 T Butter
1/2 cup Beef Broth
Cooked Rice

Cooking Instructions:

• Melt butter in wok or large stir-fry pan on medium heat.  
• Add MIM Essential Sauce and steak.  Do not turn steak while it sears.  Turn meat over after 1 1/2 to 2 min.  Meat will be about half way cooked.
• Add garlic, onion powder, and green beans, and beef broth.  Cover with a lid and let simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add cornstarch to the liquid in the pan (Slide the vegetables and meat to the side a little, so there is a pool of liquid.  Mix the cornstarch in with the liquid to thicken it into a sauce.)
• Stir the ingredients to coat the meat and vegetables with the sauce.
• Let simmer covered for another 60 seconds.
• Serve over cooked rice.

Panang Curry with Beef

Ingredients:
1 lb Beef (I used top sirloin) - cut into thin strips or bite size pieces
4 Tbsp Panang Curry Sauce
1 Shallot - chopped
1/2 cup Green Bell Pepper - bite size pieces
1 med Carrot - sliced
1/2 cup Broccoli florets
1 can Coconut Milk (14 oz)
Brown or White Rice - cooked

Cooking Instructions:

•  Heat pan or wok on medium heat.  Add half of the coconut milk and half of the Panang Curry Sauce.
• Stir in beef and simmer until beef is partially cooked (about 1 minute).  Try not to stir the meat while it cooks.
• Add vegetables, remaining coconut milk, and Panang Curry Sauce.  Mix ingredients and simmer until meat is cooked and vegetables are tender.
• Serve over brown or white rice.

*This recipe can be substituted with any other protein - chicken, shrimp, tofu, etc.
*To increase the "spicyness" you can add more Panang Curry Sauce.

I liked this curry dish.  I thought the beef was a good flavor with the Panang Curry - also known as a red curry.  It tasted a bit "sweeter" than the Basil Green Curry, but it still had the spice to it.

I used this dish as my main dish.  I really love the flavor the steak takes on, so did my kids.  I served with a side of vegetable.  This is also great to place over chopped lettuce and tomato for an awesome salad.
