SWEET BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Dice the steak into cubes (the thickness of your steak will govern the size of the cubes, but if possible don’t exceed ¾-inch cubes).
• Brown the meat in the pan with the oil.
• Add the stage two ingredients, and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce heat and simmer covered for 1½ hours or until the meat is tender (i.e. falls apart).
• Steam your rice closer to the end of the cooking time. (2 cups rice, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, microwave for 14 mins).
• Stir in the blended cornflour and water (stage 3 ingredients) and keep stirring over medium heat until the mixture bubbles (not quite boiling but close) and thickens.
• Serve curry on bed of rice.
• I always do this in the pressure cooker which produces a far superior result as far as I’m concerned, however if planning to do it on the stovetop you may need more than the 1.5 hours specified, and beware of the liquid levels so as to prevent sticking.

SWEET BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large pan, brown 1/3 steak on all sides, stirring constantly, drain on absorbent paper, repeat with remaining oil and steak in two batches. Drain excess oil from pan. * It is important to seal meat quickly and brown thoroughly for a good coloured and well flavoured curry. Heat butter in pan, add onions, apple and curry powder, cook stirring until onions are soft. Return steak to pan. Pour in combined crumbled stock cube and water, add sultanas. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer for 1 hour or until steak is tender. Blend cornflour and extra water, add to curry, stir until mixture boils and thickens.

BEEF AND SWEET POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then fry, in batches, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the rest of the oil, turn down the heat to medium, add the onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add the garlic, chillies and ginger and fry for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Return the beef to the pan with the coconut milk, stock and cinnamon stick, bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until the beef is tender.
• Add the cubes of sweet potato and cook for a further 15 minutes until the sweet potato is tender. Stir in the lime juice, remove the cinnamon stick, scatter with fresh coriander leaves. Divide among bowls and serve with steamed rice.

FRAGRANT BEEF CURRY WITH RICE

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Working in batches, add beef to pot and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until tender and brown, about 7 minutes. Return beef to pot. Add cloves, garlic, cinnamon sticks, bay leaf and dried red pepper to pot; stir 1 minute. Stir in milk, tomatoes, chutney, lemon juice, ginger, curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until beef is tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
• Uncover; increase heat to medium. Boil stew until juices are slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Serve over rice.

BEEF CURRY IN A HURRY

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until liquid is almost absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk vinegar and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add carrots, bell pepper, and cauliflower and toss until vegetables are coated with vinegar mixture.
• Puree peas with 2 tablespoons water in the bowl of a food processor until thick and smooth.
• Layer plates with rice, peas, beef, and vegetables.

JAPANESE SWEET AND SPICY BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the onion into bite-sized pieces. Cut the carrot into 3/4 inch (2cm) half rounds. Finely chop the garlic and ginger.
• Heat the oil in a pan. Before it gets very hot, add the garlic and ginger, and saute until fragrant. Add the onion and carrot, and saute another minute or so.
• Add the water, cover the pan, and simmer 10 minutes, until carrot becomes soft. Remove the pan from heat and add the curry roux, stirring until it is completely dissolved. (I found it best to break sections of the roux in smaller pieces and place one of them in a seperate bowl to pour some hot broth on it from the heat to melt it evenly before stirring it back into the big pot.)
• Return the pan to the fire and add the beef, one slice at a time, as this makes it more tender. Stir well and cook until heated through.
• Serve with hot white rice and garnish with little Japanese red pickles and or Japanese pickled scallions; purchased at most asian markets--compliments the dish with its sweet/salty flavor with a crunch. (Optional).
