This Thai Grilled Beef with Green Curry Sauce is so, so yummy and would require too many adjectives to describe! Tender beef, char-grilled bell peppers, and a fiery sauce are a flavor bomb in your mouth!
I just love using colorful mini bell peppers in this recipe! They grill up so nicely and have a sweet taste once grilled!
Look at the char on these mini bell peppers! Wow!
I used shallots instead of onions because I love the mild flavor. I sliced them very thick so they didn't fall apart on the grill.
