Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef chuck, cut into cubes
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
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, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining coconut oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir the spices into the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the cubed butternut squash, coconut milk, beef broth, sea salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything well, ensuring the beef and squash are coated with the spice mixture.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 50-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the squash is cooked through.
Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Once the beef and squash are tender, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zest when ready to eat.
