Beef and Sweet Potato Coconut Curry with Warm Garlic Naan is a rich, comforting dish made with tender beef, sweet potatoes, and a spiced coconut curry sauce, served with buttery garlic naan for a hearty and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized chunks
  2. 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  3. 1 large onion, chopped
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  6. 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  7. 2 tbsp tomato paste
  8. 1 cup beef broth
  9. 2 tbsp curry powder
  10. 1 tsp ground cumin
  11. 1 tsp ground coriander
  12. 1/2 tsp turmeric
  13. 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  14. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  15. 2 tbsp oil (for browning)
  16. Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  17. 6 garlic naan (store-bought or homemade)
  18. 2 tbsp butter or oil (for brushing naan)
  19. 2 cloves garlic, minced (for naan)

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.

  1. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Stir in tomato paste, curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  3. Return beef to the pot and add coconut milk and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender and sweet potatoes are soft.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare garlic naan by brushing with melted butter or oil and minced garlic. Toast in a skillet or oven until warm and slightly crispy.
  7. Serve curry hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside garlic naan.

Notes

  • Use beef chuck or stew meat for the most tender results.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your desired spice level or omit for a milder curry.
  • Add spinach or kale during the last 10 minutes for extra nutrients.
  • This curry also pairs well with basmati rice if preferred over naan.
  • For firmer sweet potatoes, add them halfway through cooking.
