This recipe has borrowed from a whole bunch of other recipes that I have used over the years, so I don't know if it's actually called something specific. I just call it a spicy beef curry and it tastes good so that's all that really matters. It is a little spicy but just go easy with the chilies and it'll be a much milder dish.

Recipe type: Beef
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 kilogram or about 2 pounds of Chuck Steak
  • 1 can of Coconut Milk (14 oz or 400ml)
  • 2 Fresh Chilies diced finely (or leave out if you wish)
  • 3 cloves of Garlic crushed
  • 1 Onion diced finely
  • 1 half inch or 1cm of fresh Ginger crushed
  • 2 tablespoons of Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 2 tablespoons of Fish Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of ground Coriander
  • 1 tablespoon of Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Fresh Coriander to serve
  • Chopped Cashews to serve
Instructions
  1. Dice the chuck steak into nice bite sized pieces. Don't be too precious about cutting ALL the fat from the beef but definitely trim it as you dice. Add the diced Onion to a large heavy pot with a splash of Oil in it. Then add the Beef for a few minutes until slightly brown.
  2. Once the Beef is sealed add the Garlic, fresh Ginger, and Chilies, stirring for a few minutes. Then add the Thai Red Curry Paste, Fish Sauce, Spices, Brown Sugar and can of Coconut Milk. Stir all of the ingredients together well and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down very low and cover loosely so that steam can release from the pot. Simmer at low heat for between 2 and 3 hours.
  3. Serve with rice and garnish with chopped Cashew Nuts and fresh Coriander (Cilantro).
Notes
Like all recipes, add to it and take away ingredients to taste. Just remember that some vegetables will turn to mush after cooking for a long period of time so you could add them to the pot later on in the cooking process.
