Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes

Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 lbs of beef chuck cubes and brown them on all sides for 5-7 minutes.
- Remove beef and set aside. In the same pot, toss in 1 chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Stir for 1 minute to toast the spices.
- Pour in a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup beef broth, and the browned beef. Stir well, scraping up any tasty bits from the bottom.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Stir in 1 cup coconut milk during the last 10 minutes. Heat through to create a silky sauce.
Notes
Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more chili powder for heat or extra coconut milk to mellow it out. Serve with basmati rice or naan for a complete meal!
