"A wonderful recipe from Cooking Light. A delicious way to use ground beef. You can make it spicier by using more red curry paste."

This wasn't quite as quick a lunch as I had hoped for but it was a totally different use of ground beef than just the usual. Fairly well flavored but needed more heat so I added about 1/2 t of sriracha. Served it to DH over rice noodles and myself over pasta. Rice noodles were clearly the better choice. Sprinkled with cilantro, it was a very decent dish!

I used regular onion in place of leeks but this was great. I may use less fish sauce next time and more curry paste. No rice but went great with Recipe #115028.

5 stars all day every day Redsie. What a great recipe. Made as written but used green onions and red sweet onions instead of the leeks. I can't get those here now... I went with what I had. They worked great in the dish. It was delicious, soft and gentle. I served it over basmati rice and garnished with toasted coconut, shredded candied ginger, sliced green onions, cilantro and sesame seeds. What a memorable meal, I can't wait to make this again. Thanks so much for sharing.

Used onions instead of leeks and increased to 2 cups. Used 3 tablespoons of curry paste because 1 teaspoons is nothing. I didn't have lime rind so I didn't add it. But it was quick and delicious.

This is a very good basic recipe, thanks for sharing. I added more curry paste and used coconut cream based on availability. I also added sriracha sauce to make it more spicy, and added tofu and a handful off peas (i know it veers away from being Thai) just to add color :)

This is a very delicious recipe! I like to make it a bit more spicy by adding red chili paste and sometimes substitute onions for the leeks. I make it a few times a month, as my boyfriend and I just love it :) update: added mushrooms along with a tablespoon of curry powder, and a tablespoon of minced ginger and it definitely gave it the flavor that I was looking for. :)

This is very good; I'm adding it to our list of recipes to make again. I made a few very minor changes: substituted onion for leek (hard to find here), curry powder for paste, forgot the brown sugar, and a dab of anchovy paste stood in for the fish sauce. I added freshly grated ginger. Served over jasmine rice, it was quick and very tasty. Next time I will reduce the tomato sauce.

oh gosh this is so good! I made a few amount adjustments to this, I increased the amounts on the garlic, curry paste, and used 2 onions in place of the leeks, I also added in 1 tablespoon crushed red chili flakes (the hotter the better!) this was made as a take-home meal for my DS and was thoroughly enjoyed, thank you Reds, I will be making this again soon!

Exceptional!! Ate this with jasmine rice and Thai Style Slaw (Recipe #115028). Worked really well together. We also made this with ground turkey instead of beef.
