Over medium heat, saute your mined garlic and onions in 1 tbsp of oil for a 1 minute.
Add in the red curry paste and stir until fragrant (2-3 minutes).
Add in the Ground Beef and cook until the meat is browned (4-5 minutes). You don’t have to but I recommend removing some of the rendered fat, how much you remove is up to you.
Add in the coconut milk, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Simmer until you get the consistency you want (mine went for 5 minutes). Add in lime juice and check for seasoning.
Optional: Toast the bun in a separate pan by melting some butter and placing the bun in for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
