Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating a large cast-iron pan on high heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly coat it with cooking spray before adding the meat. Sauté the meat, stirring occasionally, until it achieves a golden brown color and reaches a medium-rare doneness in the middle, which should take approximately 4 minutes. Next, carefully transfer the cooked meat to a serving platter and cover it loosely with foil to retain its warmth.

2. 2

   Apply cooking spray to the pan once more before adding the cauliflower, bell pepper, and garlic. Cover the pan and cook the vegetables over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until they reach a crisp-tender texture, which should take approximately 7 minutes. Adjust the heat level as needed during cooking.

3. 3

   In a pan over medium heat, sprinkle the curry powder and mix it well. Take the pan off the heat and pour in the fish sauce. Put the meat back into the pan. Add the yogurt and basil, stirring to combine everything. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference before serving right away.
