One Pot Coconut Curry Beef Stew Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 TBSPs vegetable oil
1 lb stewing beef, cut into 15-inch cubes
1 medium onion, sliced
1 TBSP garlic, minced
1 TSP fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup yellow curry powder
1 TBSP cumin powder
2 TBSPs soy sauce
2 TBSPs brown sugar
1 TBSP ground black pepper
2-3 bay leaves
2 (400 ml) cans coconut milk
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 TSP fresh red chilli, chopped (for garnish)
1 TSP fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)
1 TSP white sesame seeds (for garnish)

Recipe Instructions:

Heat oil in Dutch oven (or large cooking pot) for 2 minutes over medium high heat until the oil starts to sizzle and shimmer.
Add in cubed beef chunks and stir well to cook evenly for 6-8 minutes until the beef browns.
Add onions, garlic, and ginger.
Mix well by stirring with a spatula for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add all the seasoning including curry powder, cumin, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and bay leaves.
Continue stirring to combine for about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk to combine.
Turn the heat down to medium low and cover the lid.
Simmer for 25 minutes until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally to cook the beef evenly.
To check the tenderness of the beef, use a fork.
If you are able to insert a fork in the center of beef with little resistance, it's cooked fork tender.
Add potatoes and carrots and bring to a simmer uncovered.
Stir occasionally and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes and carrots start to soften.
Add 1/4 cup water if needed to thin out the sauce (if the sauce gets too thick).
Remove the pot from heat and let rest for 20 minutes to slightly cool down.
The longer it rests, the more flavorful the beef curry gets.
Serve over rice and sprinkle red chilli, cilantro and white sesame seeds on top to garnish.
