Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Coconut milk (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant.
