Start by heating 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in 1 can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/2 red onion (finely chopped), 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced), the juice of 1 lime, and a handful of chopped cilantro in a bowl.
Mix well and set aside. Once the beef is ready, remove it from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar for added depth of flavor.
To serve, take large lettuce leaves (such as butter or romaine) and spoon a generous amount of the coconut curry beef into each leaf.
Top with a spoonful of mango salsa and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for crunch. Enjoy your savory ground beef and coconut curry lettuce wraps immediately!
