Instructions

Prepare all ingredients by slicing the onion, mincing garlic, grating ginger, and cutting the beef into chunks.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until softened. Stir in curry powder and cook until fragrant.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in enough water or broth to cover the meat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
Serve hot alongside freshly cooked jasmine rice.
