Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir the spices into the onion mixture, allowing them to toast for 1 minute.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the low-sodium beef broth and tomato puree. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 45 minutes.

Step 8

After 45 minutes, add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Cover and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice just before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked rice or with warm naan bread.
