Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 lime, sliced into wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced onions, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the thinly sliced beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium, and stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toast the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they release their aroma.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and beef stock, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the pan. Stir to coat the beef in the sauce. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbread, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness.
