3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 large shallot, minced (about 1/2 cup)

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 to 3 tbsp. red curry paste*

1 pound ground beef

About 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1 cup coconut milk*

2 to 3 tsp. sugar

2 cups shredded cabbage

3 green onions, sliced white and light green parts only

1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp. lime juice

Pepper

4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until shallot begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in red curry paste and cook, stirring, 45 seconds. Add beef and salt, breaking beef into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Add coconut milk and sugar, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until most of liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make slaw: In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, green onions, cilantro, remaining 2 tbsp. oil, and 1 tbsp. lime juice. Toss to coat, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
