Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Cooking Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure a nice sear.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
Instructions:
1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
5. Return the beef to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
