Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef (stew meat or chuck, diced)
- 400 grams potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned on all sides.
Mix in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the beef with the spices.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, add the diced potatoes to the pot. Make sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover and continue cooking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, flatbread, or enjoy on its own.
