EASY BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the beef into cubes, removing any sinew or fatty tissue. Set aside.
• In a large heavy-based saucepan heat the oil & add the onion, ginger and garlic and stir until the onion is opaque. Add the curry powder, turmeric, mustard seeds, salt and vinegar. Stir for 3 minutes.
• Add the reserved beef pieces and stir to coat the meat with the spice mixture. Add the chilli, tomatoes, water, coconut cream and coriander (reserving some coriander to garnish the curry just before serving). Stir to combine and cover with a lid.
• Simmer for 2 hours over a medium heat until the meat is tender. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• To serve, scatter with reserved chopped coriander.
• Accompany with steamed rice, chutneys and wedges of lime or lemon to squeeze over at the table.

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet or chef's pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Saute onions until tender. Add curry powder, toss to coat, and cook 1-2 minutes longer.
• Add beef and brown 3-4 minutes, scraping pan often. If curry powder sticks to bottom, add a little water to deglaze whenever needed to prevent scorching.
• Add about 1 pint of water and mix in, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan in the process. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until most of the water has cooked off.
• Remove from heat and stir in both cans of coconut milk. Return to heat and heat over medium-low heat until just beginning to simmer.
• Serve in bowls over rice, with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Heat one tbsp of the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 5-8 mins, turning with a pair of tongs half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Fry gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and fry for two mins. Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.
• Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and cook over a low heat for 1 ½ - 2 hrs or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir through the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads or rice.
