Method

Curry Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and cut the beef into cubes. Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a little oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Beef and Curry Paste

    Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides. Stir in the Massaman curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Add Coconut Milk and Broth

    Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Potatoes and Simmer

    Add the potato chunks, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir to combine, then cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with crushed peanuts, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
