Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup, full-fat coconut milk
- 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes beef chuck
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the onion, garlic, and ginger in the spices, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are toasted and aromatic.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk, and stir to combine the sauce base.
Add the beef chuck cubes to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce.
Cover the pot with a lid, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 80-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Once cooked, adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 compliant Rogan Josh!
