Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice thoroughly under cold water. Place it in a pot with double the amount of water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all water is absorbed.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced lean beef to the pot and brown on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chili powder, coating the beef and onion mixture well.

Step 7

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and canned chopped tomatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Add the sliced carrots and chopped green bell pepper to the pot.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Uncover the pot, stir in the low-fat yogurt, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Continue to simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 12

Once the curry is done, serve it hot over the cooked brown rice.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving for an added fresh taste.
