Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 pounds stewing beef, cut into chunks
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 14-ounce can canned coconut milk
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until the aroma is released.
Add the cinnamon stick, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir the spices into the onion mixture until well combined and aromatic, about 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chunks of stewing beef to the pot. Sear the meat on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the beef and spices.
Pour in the coconut milk, beef stock, and tomato paste. Stir everything together, ensuring the tomato paste is fully incorporated.
Season with sea salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.
Let the curry simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Remove the cinnamon stick from the curry before serving.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty Paleo meat curry with a side of your choice, like cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
