How to Make Curry Beef and Potatoes: A Step-by-Step Guide

Curry beef and potatoes is a beloved dish worldwide, known for its rich aroma and tender ingredients. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients: 500g beef (chuck or stewing meat), cut into cubes; 3 potatoes, peeled and diced; 1 onion, chopped; 2 tbsp curry powder (or 4 tbsp curry paste); 1 can (400ml) coconut milk; 2 cups beef broth; 2 tbsp cooking oil; salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to taste.

Instructions:

1. Sear the beef: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, sauté onions until soft (3-4 minutes). Stir in curry powder/paste and cook for 1 minute to release fragrance.

3. Simmer: Return beef to the pot. Add coconut milk, beef broth, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours (or until beef is tender).

4. Add potatoes: Stir in diced potatoes and cook for 20-30 more minutes, until potatoes are soft and the sauce thickens.

5. Serve: Adjust seasoning, garnish with fresh cilantro, and enjoy with rice or naan bread.

For extra flavor, add carrots, bell peppers, or a dash of soy sauce. This hearty curry is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day!
