Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by cutting the beef into 1-inch cubes and finely chop the onions, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Brown the Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef cubes to the pot. Brown the beef on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 5

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper over the beef and stir well to coat the meat with the spices.

  5. 6

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the beef broth (or water) and coconut milk. Stir to combine everything, then bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 7

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the beef is tender, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
