Easy Thai Yellow Curry with Beef

Thanks to Canada Beef for sponsoring this video, start experimenting with new beef cuts with the Canadian Beef Information Gateway: bit.ly/39KvxUe
Authentic Thai yellow curry recipe with tender beef that doesn't take 3 hours to stew! I used to think beef curry had to take hours to get the beef tender, but when I worked in a Thai restaurant I learned a trick to cut down cooking time to just 40 mins, making it totally doable for a weeknight!

I'm a chef. My uncle is a chef, but he's very classically French trained while I am quite a bit more experimental and have worked with a lot more varied cuisines and at some pretty hole-in-the-wall restaurants. He's in town for the first time in a few years for a family reunion. We were talking about Thai cuisine and he mentioned yellow curry is his favorite, and I mentioned it was one Thai dish I've actually never made (though your green curry recipe is a staple in my house). I know what we're cooking together some time this week! In part in thanks to your channel I already have most of the pantry ingredients. I even have some turmeric root in the freezer. Thanks for the video! Perfect timing.

[@khaelamensha3624]

À classical trained chef will have no issue doing these recipe. I am a French family trained amateur cook and so far not a single one recipe was complexe. OK I have two advantages : living in Paris I have no issue to buy Asian ingredients the second my Chinese wife was born in Laos so she can point what is not at her level... Well not sure as the second one is an advantage as none of my dishes will be at the level of her childhood memories 😂

A very useful trick for this recipe and Congratulations on your upcoming cookbook 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I can't wait to get it

[@VicBattlefield]

This instructional video is wonderful. I´ve never made curry paste myself and have always used ready-made ones you can buy from the grocery store. Your video has inspired me to go to the trouble of making my own paste. Up till now it´s all been a mystery to me! Thanks Pai!😃

This is how I like to cook my curry. One pot boil water w beef bone (2-3 hrs) then sauté sliced beef, potatoes, carrots w curry/lemongrass paste n add fish sauce, broth mix, sugar. Separate pot light cook coconut milk add sugar n a pinch of salt then put everything in the beef bone pot. Smell n taste Sooo good not typical restaurant curry 😊 I am Cambodian btw.

[@benji8000dk]

Love from denmark ❤️🇩🇰

[@jshoota19ify]

2 thumbs up from my teenagers and a "WOW" from the wife. You are a wonderful teacher. I have cooked many of your dishes. This one was a little scary because I wasn't sure about the sweetness of the coconut milk. It came out with an awesome balance of richness with a subtle peppery kick and the end. I never did get that separation with the coconut milk. It did say premium on the can, not sure if that's why. I ended up using store bought curry paste too. So DELICIOUS!. Thank you.

[@andrewmorgan1802]

To get oil seperation you will have to use UHT coconut milk from a carton. Palin shows this in one of her videos - I think it was the green curry one.

[@johannessugito1686]

I think another secret is to fry the curry paste with the coconut milk until all water is evaporated. This intensify the flavour so much.

[@AlphGen]

My local Thai uses the boiling approach but add vinegar and a bay leaf or two, but same principal

[@vishnukapoor7436]

Thanks Pallin...this curry is going to be my lunch today.....

What’s the best way to cut up and granulize the palm sugar? I always use a knife then a hammer in bag to get it small enough to dissolve. It’s always too hard to break up easily.

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Hi! She says "For a small amount I use a knife. If I'm doing a lot, I pound it in a mortar and pestle, and then use a knife to get it finer if needed. If the sugar is old and dried out it'll be really hard and impossible to chop, so best to chop it up while still relatively fresh. " Cheers! Adam

[@FrostedCreations]

She has a video on here channel somewhere all about coconut milk, but basically you want a) a high fat content and b) no emulsifiers or stabilisers.

[@PailinsKitchen]

If you're in Thailand the Ampawa in the bottle is good.

[@Jeffffrey0902]

@@FrostedCreations Sometimes I deliberately go for those with stabilisers when I'm making the sauce for mango and sticky rice. You just add a pitch of salt into it, no cooking needed.

[@sonyabanda6543]

Wouldn’t that easier if you fry the paste in oil rather than mixing with cold coconut cream??

Very similar to Indian cooking. We also cook what we call the masala until the oil separates and comes on top.
