Beef Curry

Beef Curry

Serves 4
Cooking time 2 1/2 hours

I have been making this curry for years, its easy, cheap and very tasty. Once you have sauteed the meat and spices it goes into the oven to do its own thing.

Ingredients

800 gms blade or chuck steak cut into 1 inch cubes
2 onions sliced
4 cloves garlic crushed
3cm piece ginger grated
1 tbs coriander powder
1 teas cumin powder
1/2 teas turmeric powder
1/2 teas chilli powder ( you can add more if  you want more heat )
400gm tin coconut milk
400gm tin crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Directions

Pre heat oven to 170c. Heat a large heavy based pan on the stove top ( I use my dutch oven ), and saute the onion for 10 minutes or until soft, add the garlic, ginger and dry spices and cook for a further 5 minutes this will intensify the flavour add the beef and coat well in the spice mix. Add the tomatoes, water and coconut milk plus 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook in the oven for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, when cooked add the spinach and some fresh coriander, serve with steamed rice.

I like a dollop of natural yogurt on top.
