Every November we order a half of a grass fed steer. That is a lot of beef! And there is really only so much you can do certain cuts of beef, so we either end up with a ton of roasts or a ton of ground beef. This year we opted for the ground beef. My chest freezer is full and I need to figure out other ways to serve hamburger. There are only so many bowls of chili, sloppy joe and spaghetti with meat sauce a person can eat.
My husband is a big fan of all Asian foods and really enjoys the diverse flavors. He is particularly fond of Thai food so I decided to make a Thai inspired Pale Red Curry Beef dish using my ground beef instead of the more traditional sliced steak.
