Simple Beef Curry Recipes

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:

• Heat the oil over medium heat and saute the onion for about 3 minutes, or until translucent.
• Add the garlic, curry, paprika, chili powder and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
• Add the beef and stir.
• Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a medium simmer. Cover, and cook for about five minutes.
• Add enough water to cover the beef and cover once again.
• Cook for 1-2 hours (adding water as needed), or until meat is tender and the sauce is thick.
• Serve over rice and garnish with the parsley or the cilantro.

Steps:

• Cut the beef into cubes, removing any sinew or fatty tissue. Set aside.
• In a large heavy-based saucepan heat the oil & add the onion, ginger and garlic and stir until the onion is opaque. Add the curry powder, turmeric, mustard seeds, salt and vinegar. Stir for 3 minutes.
• Add the reserved beef pieces and stir to coat the meat with the spice mixture. Add the chilli, tomatoes, water, coconut cream and coriander (reserving some coriander to garnish the curry just before serving). Stir to combine and cover with a lid.
• Simmer for 2 hours over a medium heat until the meat is tender. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• To serve, scatter with reserved chopped coriander.
• Accompany with steamed rice, chutneys and wedges of lime or lemon to squeeze over at the table.

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderate heat until they are softened.
• Add the beef and cook over moderate-high heat, stirring, until well-browned.
• Add the tomatoes and the spices and simmer the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Add 1 cup water, salt and the jam and simmer the curry, covered, for 1-2 hours more, or until beef is very tender.
