Transport yourself to Thailand with tender beef in a heavenly coconut massaman curry.
Ingredients:
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) peanut oil
  • 1.2kg gravy beef, fat trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 195g jar massaman curry paste
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 20.00 ml finely grated fresh ginger
  • 500g baby Cream Delight potatoes, peeled
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) beef stock
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • 270ml can coconut cream
  • 3 whole star anise
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 makrut lime leaves
  • 40.00 ml palm sugar
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce
  • Roasted chopped peanuts, to serve
  • Steamed rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • Start by heating 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy-based saucepan over high heat. Cook one-third of the beef, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and continue with the remaining beef in 2 more batches.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-low heat. Saute the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in curry paste, garlic, and ginger, and cook for an additional 3 minutes until fragrant. Add beef, potato, stock, coconut milk, coconut cream, star anise, cinnamon, and makrut lime leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 3/4 hours until beef is nearly tender.
  • Allow the delicious flavors to meld together as you gently simmer the beef until tender. Add a touch of sweetness with sugar, a burst of tanginess with lime juice, and depth of flavor with fish sauce. Let the sauce thicken to perfection before transferring to a bowl. Finish with a sprinkling of crunchy peanuts and serve alongside fluffy rice.
