Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Coconut milk

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook for another minute.
Season the beef with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and brown the beef on all sides for about 6–8 minutes.
Stir in the spices (curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili flakes) and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in enough broth to cover the beef completely. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for at least 1.5 hours until tender.
Stir in coconut milk and simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes before serving.
