Ingredients

• 1 lb beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 large carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1.5 cups basmati rice
• 3 cups water
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook the spices with the onion mixture for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the tomato paste, then return the beef to the pot, making sure to coat the beef with the spice mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for 40 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

While the curry is simmering, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 10

In a separate saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 11

Uncover the curry, stir in the frozen peas, and cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.

Step 12

Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Serve the beef curry over cooked basmati rice and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
