Ingredients

Meatballs

2 lbs Ground Beef
1/4 cup Fresh Basil finely chopped
4 Garlic Cloves minced
2 tablespoons Fish Sauce
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Salt
2 tablespoons Oil

Curry Sauce

1 medium Onion diced
4 Garlic Cloves minced
2 tablespoons Green Curry Paste
2 14 ounce Cans of Coconut Milk
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Fresh Basil chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped

Instructions

Meatballs

Prepare the meatballs by mixing all the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl except the oil.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a cookie scoop measure out 2 tablespoon portions of the meatball mixture and roll it into a ball shape and place in the skillet. Brown the meatballs on all sides in batches of 10, but do not cook through. Remove meatballs when browned to a plate.

Green Curry Sauce

Drain out half of the oil in the skillet and add the diced onions to sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Place the green curry sauce in the skillet and use a spatula to mix it with the onions and garlic.
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet and use a whisk to mix it together until smooth. Next add the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and return the meatballs to the skillet.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid and cook for 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir the fresh basil and cilantro into the mixture.
