Ingredients
- 1/2 lb beef fillet or boneless sirloin steak
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped drained bottled lemongrass
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 pinch sugar
- 4 oz dried rice vermicelli (rice stick noodles)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved crosswise
- 1 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions
- Cut beef against the grain into ‿-inch-thick slices. Pulse shallots, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, salt, curry paste, and sugar in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, and drain in a colander. Rinse briefly and drain well.

Add snap peas and sauté, stirring, 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in wok over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook shallot mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to stick to bottom of wok, about 2 minutes.
