There is something so comforting about a warm bowl of food after a long day. These beef broth bowls have become a favorite in my kitchen because they come together quickly but taste like they have been simmering for hours. The combination of savory beef and the silky coconut curry broth is truly special.

I love this recipe because it is so easy to customize. You can throw in whatever crisp vegetables you have on hand, or adjust the spice level with a little extra chili crisp. It is a fantastic way to put a wholesome dinner on the table without spending all night in the kitchen.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 can (13.5 ounces) full fat coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
Cooked jasmine or brown rice
Diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro for serving
Chili crisp for topping (optional)

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Pour this over the beef and let it simmer for one minute. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the red curry paste. Stir it constantly for about 30 seconds to wake up the spices.
4
Whisk in the coconut milk, chicken broth, cornstarch, and honey until smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down and let it simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5
To assemble, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Spoon the beef mixture alongside the rice and ladle the hot coconut curry broth over everything.
6
Top with fresh cucumber, shredded carrots, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili crisp if you like a little heat.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover broth and beef in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. When you are ready to eat, simply reheat the broth on the stove and assemble fresh bowls for the best texture.
