   1      pound         ground beef -- (85-90% lean)
     1/2  cup           all purpose flour
   1      cup           coconut milk
   2      tablespoons   red curry paste
   2      tablespoons   creamy peanut butter
   1      tablespoon    fish sauce
   1      tablespoon    sugar
   2      tablespoons   oil
     1/4  cup           Thai or sweet basil leaves

Preparation:

Form ground beef into 1" in diameter balls and coat evenly with flour, shaking off any excess flour. In a medium saucepan, brown meatballs in oil over low heat. The meatballs do not have to be thoroughly cooked. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Add the curry paste to the remaining oil from frying the meatballs and sauté for 1 minute over low heat. Increase heat to medium, add coconut milk and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Stir in fish sauce, sugar, peanut butter and blend well. Return the meatballs to the pan of curry mixture and cook until well done. Transfer the curry to a serving bowl and sprinkle basils. Serve with cooked rice.
