Steps:
- Dry the beef with paper towels then season it with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the beef on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot.
- Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, curry paste, and fish sauce and scrape off the dark bits (the fond) from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the beef to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Add the squash to the pot and continue to cook for 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Add the coconut milk and lime juice and season to taste with salt. Serve with Thai basil or cilantro on top.

CURRY BEEF IN AN ACORN SQUASH BOWL
I used to think I hated squash.. boy was I wrong! The warm and delicate flavor of the squash blends beautifully with the curry. To me, this is like gourmet comfort food. Easy to make.. the hardest part is the very first step, cutting the squash in half. Plus, this is a good make-ahead recipe because it keeps well warming in the oven for several hours if necessary. To keep warm, set your oven on its lowest setting, place several (already fully-prepared and stuffed) on a cookie sheet, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

Steps:
- Cut squash in half. Scoop out seeds and stringy pulp. Place squash halves on cookie sheet, flesh-side down. Roast for 45-60 minutes at 425, until flesh is very soft. Actual cook time will depend on the squash's size. (I actually roast mine flesh-side up, because I prefer the top a little crusty.).
- Wait until squash only has about 15 minutes bake-time remaining, then saute ground beef with onion. Drain grease if necessary. Sprinkle with salt, curry powder and (optional) cumin, stir well.
- Mound beef mixture into the fully-baked squash bowls and serve. YOU'RE DONE!
- VARIATIONS & IDEAS.
- Add mild red Anaheim chiles (roasted, de-skinned, de-seeded and chopped), to the ground beef & onions.
- Sprinkle grated cheese on top just before serving, broil for about 2 minutes.
- Reserve the seeds, rinse them and place in a small baking dish. Roast for about 15 minutes (in oven along with the squash halves). Toss with 1 tsp oil or butter and a pinch of salt, roast another 2 minutes. Scatter around the squash plate when serving. Or just snack on them!
- Next time, I'm going to try baking the acorn squash whole first, then halving. I think I'll have to bake it just a little more after halving, un-stuffed and flesh side up, because I like a little bit of crustiness on the surface.
