Place all curry paste ingredients in blender/Magic Bullet/Ninja and blend until a paste is formed. Set aside.

Pour oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add curry paste and cook 5 minutes. Most liquid should be cooked out of it.

Add star anise and reserved beef cooking liquid. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in lime juice, Swerve Brown, and fish sauce.
Add beef chunks and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce has thickened. Remove star anise before serving.

Recipe Notes

*Lemongrass: Trim tough base from stalk, then peel off the reedy outer layers, leaving only the inner pale green part. Chop into small pieces.
