Notes

  • The beef - Use the best meat you can source for this recipe. Regular stew meat can be tough and stringy, so I usually buy tenderloin and cut it into pieces. 
  • The tomatoes - For this recipe, use Roma tomatoes. They are juicy and break down quickly, resulting in a perfect curry.

  • Cooking the meat: The cooking time is based on the utensils and stove I used to prepare this recipe. Depending on your equipment, you may need to add or minus 10-15 minutes of cooking time.
