Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 14 oz can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup water or beef broth
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing on all sides until browned. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to coat the onions and release the spices' aroma, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the seared beef to the pot. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and water or beef broth. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 70-80 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread on the side.
