2.5 tbsp red curry paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup half-and-half (or coconut milk)
1 cup bone broth
a generous couple pinches of salt
fresh lime juice, to taste
fresh cilantro, chopped
For the quick pickled red onions
½ large red onion, thinly sliced
juice of 1 lemon
sea salt, to taste
For the rice
4 servings rice of choice, cooked with 1 cup bone broth in place of water
For topping

fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Start with 1 lb ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat. Break it apart as it browns, then add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, red chili flakes, and a generous pinch of salt. Brown it up really well.
For the broth, add the red curry paste and minced garlic to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the half-and-half (or coconut milk) and bone broth. Stir everything together until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Season the broth with a generous couple pinches of salt, fresh lime juice, and freshly chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust to your liking. You want it creamy, savory, a little spicy, and bright from the lime.
For the quick pickled red onions, thinly slice the red onion and add it to a bowl. Add the lemon juice and sprinkle with sea salt. Mix really well with a fork and let it sit 5-10 minutes to soften.
Prepare the rice, replacing the water with bone broth for extra flavor and protein.
To assemble, add ¾ cup cooked rice to a bowl, top with ¼ of the seasoned beef, and ladle ¼ of the broth over everything.
Top with thinly sliced cucumbers, quick pickled red onions, sesame seeds, Korean chili flakes, and plenty of finely chopped fresh cilantro.
