Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 250°F and position a rack in the middle. Spread coconut flakes evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until they turn golden, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the toasted coconut flakes to cool down before using them further.
- 2Start by generously seasoning the beef with salt and then allowing it to rest. Next, trim off the top three-quarters of the lemongrass stalks and put them into a large cast-iron skillet or a heavy roasting pan. Peel off the outer layers from the root end of the lemongrass and grate it finely using a blender along with shallot, garlic, chilies, ginger, coconut milk, and curry powder until you achieve a smooth purée.
