Experience a vibrant Indian culinary adventure with this Coconut Beef Curry, featuring creamy coconut milk, tender beef, and served with fragrant basmati rice and naan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 3 cups water
- Naan bread for serving
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion turns translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef stew meat. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5-7 minutes until nicely seared.
- Stir in the curry powder, coconut milk, beef broth, and sliced bell pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the curry simmers, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
- Serve the warm curry over a bed of fragrant basmati rice. Add naan on the side, and garnish the dish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For an enhanced flavor, marinate beef in curry powder and a splash of coconut milk for an hour before cooking. Pair with warm naan for a comforting experience.
