Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 pounds beef stew meat, diced
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, no added sugar
• 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until melted and hot.

Step 2

Add the diced beef stew meat in batches to avoid crowding the pot. Sear the meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and the cinnamon stick, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot along with the juices that have collected. Stir to coat the beef in the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the diced tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring well to combine.

Step 8

Add the chopped carrots, cubed sweet potato, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir them into the liquid, making sure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot with lime wedges.
