Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg beef chuck, cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 10 curry leaves
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 250 ml water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the mixture is aromatic.
Lower the heat to medium and add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and ground black pepper. Stir well and cook for another minute.
Add the beef cubes to the pan, stirring well to coat them uniformly with the spice mixture. Cook the beef until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Incorporate the tomato paste into the pan, stirring well to combine with the spices and beef.
Stir in the coconut milk and water, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Season with sea salt, cover the pan, and lower the heat. Let it simmer gently for about 60-70 minutes or until the beef is tender.
Check the seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. If the curry seems too thick, add a little more water and stir well.
Garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with cauliflower rice or any other Paleo-friendly side.
