We really enjoyed this unusual (for us) dish. I wasn't sure if the type of curry paste was crucial to the dish, and I'm sure each tastes different. I used a Korma paste, and thought the flavors worked well with the orange. The beef was nice and tender. I served it over rice. One thing to note, the time indicated for the recipe should be increased. It shows 16 minutes total, but the meat needs to cook for an hour in step 2. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
