Ingredients
Beef Curry
- 1 lb (450g) beef chuck, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serving
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (for serving)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides to develop a deep, rich flavor. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook over medium heat until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Curry Powder: Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for an additional minute until the spices are fragrant, helping to release their flavors into the dish.
- Simmer with Liquids: Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the entire can of full-fat coconut milk along with 1 cup of beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the curry simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully. Stir occasionally and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Spoon the hot beef curry over a bed of cauliflower rice and garnish with fresh cilantro for a fragrant, delicious meal.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a chopped chili or a pinch of cayenne pepper with the curry powder.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors continue to develop.
- You can substitute beef chuck with lamb or chicken thighs for a variation.
- Serve with steamed vegetables for added nutrition.
- Ensure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture and richest flavor suitable for keto.
