Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large, chopped onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 pounds beef chunks
- 1 400 ml can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1 400 ml can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Mix in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the beef chunks to the pot, stirring to coat them well with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the pot to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it cook for about 75-90 minutes, or until the beef is tender and cooked through.
Stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Just before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve hot, optionally with freshly steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice on the side.
