I followed the measurements of the recipe exactly except for using about 2/3 of the lemon peel called for (I only had 1 lemon and used the entire peel) but it came out tasting overpoweringly of citrus. Couldn't taste the red curry paste at all, although that could have been the brand I used (Thai Kitchen). I ended up sprinkling ground cayenne pepper on my plateful to give it some kick, which made it totally better. I also added carrots, onion, orange bell pepper, and green beans to the stir fry, after removing beef from pan (and I browned the beef in batches to ensure good browning) and before adding sauce ingredients and re-adding beef. With a spicier curry paste or the addition of some sriracha or other heat, this could be an excellent meal.
