How to Make Beef Fillet In Coconut
- Cut the beef fillet into thin slices (approximately 1/4 inch thick).
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon chopped coriander, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the beef and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef to the hot pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Stir-fry until well browned on both sides (approximately 3-4 minutes per batch).
- Add 1 cup shredded coconut and 2 chopped spring onions to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Return all the cooked beef and any accumulated juices to the pan.
- Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk and stir until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with extra coriander, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
