Red Curry Steak Fajitas

Don’t let the name of this dish fool you. Red curry doesn’t taste anything like its yellow and green counterparts, so if you tend to shy away from anything called “curry,” you might want to give this one a try! Red curry paste can be very spicy depending on the brand, so experiment a little and find one that suits your taste. I use the Thai Kitchen brand, and I don’t find it spicy (as in hot), but almost smoky in flavor. Feel free to play with the levels of red curry paste and honey to get just the right balance for you!
