These tender beef meatballs are simmered in our fragrant Spicy Lemongrass Curry Simmer Sauce that’s both rich and comforting. The sauce balances spice, sweetness, and creaminess for a bold yet cozy flavor. Each bite is juicy, aromatic, and perfect for spooning over rice or noodles. It’s an easy one-pan dish that feels special enough for dinner but simple enough for any night of the week.

Ingredients
- 2 packs medium ground beef (0.416 kg each, ~0.83 kg total)
- 2 Tbsp bread crumbs
-
3 Tbsp Red Boat Fish Sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp bouillon powder
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup coconut milk
-
1 jar Spicy Lemongrass Curry Simmer Sauce
- Optional: sliced woodear mushrooms (for crunch)
- Optional: chopped green onion (for garnish)
Directions
Make the meatball mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, fish sauce, sugar, sesame oil, bouillon powder, and salt. Mix until everything is just combined — don’t overwork the meat.
Form the meatballs: Roll the mixture into even-sized meatballs (about 1½ inches wide). If using, fold in finely chopped woodear mushrooms for extra crunch.
Sear the meatballs: Heat a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the meatballs on all sides until nicely browned and lightly charred, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Build the sauce: In the same pan, pour in the jar of spicy lemongrass curry simmer sauce. Stir in ½ cup of coconut milk for a creamy, rich base.
Simmer: Return the seared meatballs to the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let them simmer in the sauce for about 20 minutes, until fully cooked through and tender.
Serve: Garnish with chopped green onion (optional). Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
