Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (chuck or stew meat, cubed)
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
• 200 grams Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 250 ml Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Cooked basmati or jasmine rice

• 200 grams Diced mango
• 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the curry powder, turmeric, and chili flakes (if using) to the pot, stirring constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the beef cubes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and beef stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the pineapple chunks to the curry and season with salt and black pepper. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is tender, and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 9

While the curry is simmering, prepare the rice according to the package instructions if not already cooked.

Step 10

To serve, spoon the cooked rice onto a plate or into a bowl. Ladle the tropical beef curry over the rice.
