Coconut Beef Curry is a rich and aromatic dish featuring tender chunks of beef simmered in a creamy coconut milk sauce infused with warm spices, garlic, and ginger. The combination of savory beef and smooth coconut milk creates a comforting curry with balanced flavors and a silky sauce that pairs perfectly with rice or flatbread.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, cook the chopped onion until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander, stirring for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.

  7. Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth, stirring well to combine.
  8. Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  9. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots.
  10. Cover and cook on low heat for about 1½ hours until the beef becomes tender and the sauce thickens.
  11. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  12. Stir in lime juice for brightness.
  13. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add chopped chili peppers or red pepper flakes.
