Description
A hearty and comforting beef and potato curry made with tender chunks of beef, starchy potatoes, and fragrant spices, all simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce. Perfect with rice or naan for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cubed
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2.5 cups beef broth
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add vegetable oil and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute.
- Return the beef to the pot. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, salt, and pepper.
- Add potatoes and carrots. Ensure they’re submerged in the liquid.
- Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 hours, until beef is tender and potatoes are soft.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more broth if needed to thin the sauce.
- Serve hot with steamed rice or naan. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture.
- Browning the beef first adds deeper flavor.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day.
