Ingredients

• 500 grams beef stew meat
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 1 large onion
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 pieces red chili
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 250 ml beef stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef stew meat into bite-sized chunks if not already pre-cut.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Slice the red chilies thinly (seeds can be removed for less heat).

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced chilies. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to toast them and enhance their flavor.

Step 7

Add the beef chunks to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides.

Step 8

Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 45 minutes, remove the lid and stir in the coconut milk. Simmer uncovered for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

Season the curry with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in lime juice for a touch of brightness.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
