Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef, cubed
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 500 milliliters Low-sodium beef broth
- 200 milliliters Low-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed lean beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices and cook for another minute.
Return the browned beef to the skillet and mix it with the spice and onion mixture.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, add the low-fat coconut milk to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Season the curry with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Just before serving, stir in the lime juice to lift the flavors.
Garnish the beef curry sauce with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
