This is fantastic! Just what I was looking for! I did a lot of substitutes to fit my pantry and its still great! Everyone loves it! I’ve made it with venison, beef and bear😋
I use my instant pot, 40 min on high pressure for the roast, then do the curry step.

Thanks Justin for your feedback. I would totally substitute fish sauce for the shrimp paste. Also, Thai chilis YES! They are unparalleled.

I made this today. It is outstanding. We love to cook Thai in our house. I used snap peas, mushroom, carrot and scallions. Garnished with mint, Thai basil, lime and shaved green cabbage.
Definitely use Thai chilis if you can find them. Have never been able to find shrimp paste but I substituted fish sauce which I always have. Very authentic tasting Thai. The meat turns out so tender. I will definitely make this again.

After cooking the beef, you can leave it in the pot for the chili oil and shallots step. You can see what each stage looks like in the recipe video, if you like. I’m excited for you to try this one!
