Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 4 shallots (5 to 6 ounces total), peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 cup) 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced 4 carrots, sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler (about 2 cups) 1 piece fresh ginger (3 inches long), peeled and finely minced 1 medium jalapeno pepper (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), finely minced Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk 1 sirloin steak (12 ounces), thinly sliced crosswise 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest and 1/4 cup juice (from about 2 limes) Cilantro leaves (optional)

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add 3/4 cup shallots; cook, stirring frequently and being careful not to burn, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan oil.

In same pan over medium heat, add mushrooms, carrots, ginger, jalapeno, and remaining cup shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cook until carrots have softened and mushrooms have begun to release their liquid, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add coconut milk, beef, and 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in lime zest and juice; remove from heat.

Ladle soup into serving bowls; garnish with shallots and, if desired, cilantro leaves.

Cook’s Notes Cook this main ahead of time without compromising flavor. Refrigerate up to two days, then reheat over medium-low, stirring frequently.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       10/08/2018   Use more coconut milk, 1/2 the lime juice and carrots, and use a bit of some type of sweetener like sugar.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/08/2012   I took the advise of mckulley1 and did the ratio of 2 cans of coconut milk with 2 cups of water, added 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, 2 pinches of saffron, but I also added 1 tsp of honey and was happy with it as a soup. I also used regular onions instead of shallots and fried the beef along with the onions and mushrooms. For the life of me I have no idea how you get crispy onions this way, but caramelized worked too.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/13/2011   I was really disappointed with this recipe. Ended up turning it into a rice/curry stew by adding white rice, curry, cinnamon, and saffron. The meat was wonderful but if I were to make this again, I would have caramelized the meat with the onions first. I also would have forfeited one cup of water for another can of coconut milk.
