SHOPPING LIST: Thai-Style Beef and Green Bean Curry with Rice (1 portion)
Meal Plan 5, Monday dinner (quick, prepare ahead, beef)

[ ] 150 g lean beef steak (sirloin or rump), or ready-sliced stir-fry strips
[ ] 100 g green beans
[ ] 1 small onion
[ ] 1 head of garlic (you need 1 clove)
[ ] Thai red curry paste (1 tbsp, about 15 g)
[ ] 1 small carton reduced-fat coconut milk (200 ml)
[ ] 1/2 lime: the other half from lunch
[ ] 60 g long-grain white rice (basmati)
[ ] Olive oil (1 tsp)

Cupboard check: garlic, rice and olive oil are probably already at home. Red curry paste and coconut milk may be new.
Prep ahead: slice and marinate the beef (bottom shelf of the fridge, cook within 8 hours), and cut the onion, garlic and beans.
Beef tip: if frozen, defrost it in the fridge overnight, and slice it the same day.
Leftovers: curry paste. Keep the jar in the fridge after opening and use it within the date on the label.
