Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (cubed)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 pieces garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can (13.5 oz) canned coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium lemon (juiced)
- 1 cup cauliflower florets (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add chopped onions and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot and letting it simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Uncover the pot and increase the heat to medium to thicken the sauce for about 10 minutes, if desired.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Optional: Serve hot over cauliflower florets for a low-carb side.
