    Thai food is well adapted to a Paleo way of life, as there are naturally many gluten-free options. If you are eating out or ordering in, you will always want to use caution in selecting your dish from the menu since many options do contain rice.

    If you want to know for sure all that goes into your dinner, then we suggest cooking at home, hosting a party, and sharing your version of tasty Thai fare with family and friends.

    Thai Beef Curry

    If you are already in love with Thai food, then it is likely you have eaten and enjoyed a Pad Thai Salad or even Thai Coconut Soup, but sometimes there is nothing like sliced beef tenderloin to fill your belly - and this main dish is sure to satisfy any meat craving that you may have!

    If you love spice, then that helps the preparation along, for there are crushed red pepper flakes, as well as ¼ cup of red curry paste in it. Now you can buy a curry paste at the store, but you can also make it at home too - and you can use it as the foundation for soups, curries, and stir-fries.

    So, go out and search for a recipe, make it from fresh ingredients, and you will never look back.

    While your beef and basil are cooking, you could whip up a small bowl of cauliflower rice or a simple green side salad to serve it.
