Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups white rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the onions in the spices.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef cubes. Sear the beef on all sides until lightly browned, about 5–7 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt or spices to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice for a burst of freshness.
Serve the curried beef hot over white rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
