Red Curry Beef Stew

This is based on a recipe from a taste of thai’s “red curry paste” packet. I’ve been making this for years (and just last night) and i really love it. I’m planning to make it again next week so will try to get a photo. My only reservation with it now-a-days is that my husband is on a low-sodium diet and i’ll need to find a recipe for the red curry paste that has no salt added. When i run out of these packets i’ll search for a low-sodium recipe and post an update. Note: be careful with the thai fish sauce; you may want to go shy of 3 tablespoons if you’ve never had any before; although i like it, i’ve found that many people comment on the “fishy” (not in a good way!) taste it adds! . I added the carrots, canned corn, and cilantro garnish.
