Ingredients

To Season The Beef

Coconut Curry

  • 500 ml Coconut Milk
  • 2 tablespoon Curry powder
  • 1 Cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
  • 3 Garlic cloves minced or diced
  • ½ inch Ginger sliced or grated
  • 3 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 1 Red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 2 large Potatoes peel and cut into 2 inches cubes
  • Some fresh cilantro chopped
  • 3 tablespoon Ghee or Oil plus 2 tablespoon oil to cook beef
  • ½ cup Water to deglaze

Instructions

  • Season the beef with salt and blackpepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large pot or pan. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. This will add flavour to the curry. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  • Heat the ghee and add cinnamon, ground coriander seeds, cumin and curry powder and stir for 10 seconds.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, ginger, garlic, salt and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping frequently.
  • Deglaze with ½ cup of water and scrape the bits. Add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the beef back to the pot, add bay leaves and some cilantro (save some for garnishing). Stir again.
  • Cover and cook for 40 minutes until the beef is fork-tender. Stir the pot often or add water if it starts burning or drying.
  • Add the potatoes and cook again for 20 minutes; add water if needed.
  • Add more water for thinner sauce, and let some water dry off for thicker sauce.
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice.
