Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced (or one 14 oz can)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Beef: Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil and brown the beef on all sides (5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- 2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add more oil if necessary. Sauté onions until golden brown. Add garlic and ginger; cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3. Add Tomatoes: Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- 4. Incorporate Spices: Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Mix well and toast spices for about a minute.
- 5. Simmer: Return beef to the pot along with any juices. Pour in coconut milk; stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is fork-tender.
- 6. Garnish and Serve: Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over steamed basmati rice or with naan bread; garnish with chopped cilantro.
