Beef And Spinach Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Put cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and cardamom capsules in a metal tea filter ( the kind that is a ball with a hook and chain on it).
• Heat 3 TB oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the meat in 3 batches until browned. Remove the meat and salt it.
• Add another 3 TB oil in the pot and sauté the onions, chile, garlic, and ginger until onions are translucent.
• Add the meat and sprinkle with the chile powder, curcuma, garam masala, and cumin.
• Stir well until all is coated with the powdered spices (about 2-3 minutes).
• Add enough chicken broth until meat is covered, add the tea filter with the spices, cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes.
• Remove spice filter, and add the heavy cream, let simmer for 30 minutes more, do not let it boil! Adjust seasonings ( we usually need more salt here, and maybe a bit more heat).
• Clean and wash the spinach.
• Add the fresh spinach to the pot right before serving, and incorporate it, stirring it into the curry just until it becomes soft, about 1 minute. Serve immediately, with rice.

Steps:

• Heat one tbsp of the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 5-8 mins, turning with a pair of tongs half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Fry gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and fry for two mins. Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.
• Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and cook over a low heat for 1 ½ - 2 hrs or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir through the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads or rice.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, cardamom and allspice. Add beef; turn to coat. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown meat in batches. Transfer meat to a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. In the same skillet, cook onions until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, curry powder, cumin and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to slow cooker., Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 4-5 hours. Stir in spinach; cook until heated through, about 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in yogurt. Serve with rice and if desired, additional yogurt and red onion.

Steps:

• Chop the onion and crush the garlic. Slice the scotch bonnet into thin slivers and chop these finely.
• Heat the oil in a deep-sided frying pan/skillet and cook the onions, garlic and pepper until soft. Add the minced beef and brown off.
• Place the balls of frozen spinach into the pan on top of the beef. Cover and cook on a medium heat until spinach is softened. Stir thoroughly.
• Add the cinnamon, coriander, cumin and garam masala. Stir thoroughly to blend in spices, then add the chopped tomato.
• Increase heat and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens. Add salt to taste.
