Preparation:

As the first step of red curry beef cooking, you have to make unison of all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Process or blend until all the ingredients get well mixed. Then place a frying pan with little oil over the stove on medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the pan and then add the prepared curry sauce, lime leaves, beef, cinnamon stick, and ½ of the tomatoes. Stir the mixture well to mix all the ingredients each other.

Boil the curry gently. Add some water on the pot if the curry becomes thick. Wait for 8-10 minutes until all the ingredients get boiled properly. You can stir the curry after a regular interval to prevent from sticking with the pan. Decrease the heat now to medium-low to make the curry simmering. Cover the pot properly for around 10 minutes.

After the curry gets boiled, add the zucchini and remaining tomatoes or remaining any other vegetables. Stir them all and continue simmering for more 5 minutes to soften the zucchini or tender the meat. Add the remaining 1/3 of the coconut oil and reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring. You can add a little fish sauce if the curry is not tasty enough. If you are fond of sweet, you may add sugar. People who love spice can add more chillies to make it spicier.

Garnish the curry with the fresh coriander and basil. Serve the curry with steamed rice.
