Cashew Curried Beef

1 pound beef top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk, divided
1 tablespoon red curry paste
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
8 cups chopped bok choy
1 small sweet red pepper, sliced

In a large skillet, saute beef in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink. Remove from skillet and set aside. Spoon 1/2 cup cream from top of coconut milk and place in the pan. Add remaining oil; bring to a boil. Add curry paste; cook and stir for 5 minutes or until oil separates from coconut milk mixture.

Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce and remaining coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add bok choy and red pepper; return to a boil.

Cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the cashews, cilantro and beef; heat through. Serve with rice. Makes 5 servings.
