Keto Beef Curry Recipe (Panang)

Share with your friends!

Keto beef curry is a delicious Thai meal that is absolutely loaded with flavor it is creamy, mildly spicy, and loaded with tender pieces of beef.

The distinct flavor of the Panang beef curry is thanks to a mixture of lemongrass, kaffir lime, and fish sauce. 

For anyone who hasn’t used shrimp paste before; the smell is quite intense. I suggest opening a window when cooking with this glorious fermented flavor.

Keto Beef Curry Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil

How to Make Keto Beef Curry

1. Place all the paste ingredients into a food processor and blend to a paste. You can add 1 tablespoon of water if it needs some help to blend.
2. Add the coconut oil to a wok or saucepan and place over high heat.
3. Saute the kaffir lime leaves for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then add the Panang paste.

7. Serve topped with the peanuts and with a side of Keto Cauliflower Rice.
