Season the beef with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil In a large wok or fry pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the beef until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the curry paste. Stir until it is fragrant and coats the onion and garlic, about 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk. Deglaze the pan, you want to stir and scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom with a wooden spoon. This will add to the overall flavor of the dish.

Add the beef back in to reheat. Stir in the torn basil leaves. Add a splash of water or more coconut milk if needed.

Spoon the curry into bowls with the rice. Garnish with generous amounts of basil and serve immediately.
