Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 4 medium yellow potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)
- 1 large yellow onion (finely diced)
- 3 medium carrots (sliced into rounds)
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (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 and brown them in batches, ensuring all sides are seared. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir continuously for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Return the browned beef to the pot and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and simmer for an additional 30–40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, and the beef is soft and easy to shred.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
