Simple Beef Curry Recipe

Report

Simple Beef Curry Recipe, a wonderfully fragrant dish that is hearty and filling. The beef simply melts in the mouth, while the sauce has a lovely mild Indian flavour. A big favourite for dinner, this easy beef curry is better than any take away.

Instructions

In a pan, heat up the oil, add the cubed beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown.
Remove it from the pan, and set aside.
In the same pan, add the peeled and chopped onion, and frying on a low to medium heat until golden.
Add the garlic, ginger and all the spices, and give it a good stir.
Leave to cook for about 30 seconds or so for the flavours to be released.
Add the chopped tomatoes, and leave to cook until slightly mushy.
Add the cubed beef and half of the stock, and turn the heat to medium.
Place a lid on the pan and leave it to cook until the beef is tender, adding the rest of the stock as needed.
Once the beef is tender, and the sauce is reduced, add the yogurt (make sure the yogurt is at room temperature so it doesn't curdle), and leave to cook for a further 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from the heat, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

If you want to cook the curry in a slow cooker, follow the exact same steps on the stove top, and before the stock needs adding, transfer everything to the slow cooker, add only 2 cups of beef broth, and leave to cook for at least 8 hours on slow or 4 on high. In the slow cooker we don't need that much beef broth, since the steam does not escape.
If the sauce is still a bit watery, leave to cook for longer, and add some corn starch to it. But the cream usually thickens the sauce anyway, just see how it looks once the meat is cooked.
