method
1. Place the coconut milk in a large saucepan with 300 ml (10 fl oz) of water Add the curry paste, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice and fish sauce, and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly for 2 minutes.
2. Add the steak and shallots to the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the carrots and sugar snap peas and cook for a further 10 minutes
3. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chopped coriander and heat them through for 2 minutes. Serve the curry ladled into warmed bowls.
tip: Adding the meat to the boiling liquid is the traditional way curries are cooked in Thailand. You don't need to use any oil to fry and seal the meat, and with this method it becomes beautifully tender.
