Easy Curry Beef Rice Bowls
Description
Easy Curry Beef Rice Bowls bring together ground beef sautéed with garlic and onions, featuring potatoes that are cooked until tender within a spiced curry sauce. The spice blend includes curry powder, turmeric, cumin, sugar, black pepper, and salt, which produce a warm, mildly spiced flavor typical of Indian-style curry dishes. After sautéing the beef and aromatics, the addition of a cornstarch slurry mixed with beef broth thickens the sauce to a gravy-like consistency that clings well to the ingredients.
The dish simmers further after incorporating peas and potatoes, ensuring the potatoes cook through fully while the flavors meld. Serving it over a bed of rice makes it a complete meal with protein, vegetables, and starch. The texture contrasts tender beef and potatoes with the soft peas embedded in the thick curry sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 onion finely diced, large
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 russet potato cut into a ½-inch dice, large
- 1 pound ground beef (450g)
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1½ teaspoons Turmeric
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups beef broth (350 ml)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup pea (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent and just slightly caramelized. Add the potatoes. Let cook for 10 minutes, turning the heat down if the potatoes are crisping too much.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook the beef until browned. Next, add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, sugar, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the beef broth with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add it to the beef mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the entire mixture has thickened. You’ll know it’s ready when there’s no more pooling liquid––just a very viscous curry beef!
- Add the peas (if using). Let the entire mixture simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Season with additional salt to taste, if necessary. Spoon over a bed of rice to serve!
