Ingredients
250 g (8.8 oz) beef strips
200 g (7 oz) rice noodles
3 cups (720 ml) beef broth
1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk
2 tbsp (32 g) peanut butter
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 g) red curry paste
1 tsp (3 g) garlic, minced
1 tsp (3 g) ginger, minced
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
Instructions
Cook rice noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in red curry paste and peanut butter. Cook 1–2 minutes to release flavors.
Add beef broth and coconut milk. Stir, then season with soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Let broth cook for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
Add beef strips and cook 8–10 minutes, until tender.
Divide noodles into serving bowls. Ladle satay broth and beef over noodles.
Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve hot.
Notes
Thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak works best for tenderness.
Use smooth peanut butter for a creamy broth; chunky adds texture.
Keep noodles separate if storing leftovers to avoid sogginess.
Adjust spice with more curry paste or sriracha for heat-lovers.
Swap beef for chicken, tofu, or mushrooms for a variation.
