Charcoal grilled beef served with Panang Curry
1. Marinate the beef overnight with Panang curry paste to allow the ingredients to absorb into the beef.
2. Grill the beef on a charcoal grill until cooked to the desired level. Then set aside for 5 minutes and slice into pieces.
3. Add 1½ tsp fish sauce and oil into a saucepan or a wok over medium-high heat, reduce ¾ cup coconut milk until thickened and creamy.
4. Put the Panang curry paste and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the paste for a few minutes, stirring constantly until coconut oil separates away from the paste. If the paste sticks to the pan, you can deglaze with a bit of the remaining coconut milk.

6. Chop the shallots and the Thai eggplant into small pieces and grill until cooked, use to decorate the dish
