"Wow your guests with homemade Massaman beef curry, better than takeout."
Ingredients:
  • 1.3kg beef chuck steak, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp garam masala spice blend
  • 36.80 gm sunflower oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 84.00 gm massaman curry paste (see note)
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 300ml beef stock
  • 40.00 ml tamarind paste (see note)
  • 24.40 gm fish sauce
  • 20.00 ml grated palm sugar (see note) or brown sugar
  • 400g chat potatoes, peeled, cut into chunks, quartered
  • 40.00 ml roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • Thai basil (see note), to garnish
Instructions:
  • Coat the beef with the aromatic blend of cinnamon and garam masala. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a flameproof casserole or large pan on medium-high heat.
  • Sear the beef in batches until evenly browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Pour the rest of the oil in the pan and adjust the heat to medium. Sauté the onions and garlic for 5-6 minutes until they are soft, stirring constantly.
  • Sauté the curry paste until fragrant, then pour in coconut milk, stock, tamarind, fish sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Gently mix in cooked beef, then reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 40 minutes. Finally, add the potatoes and simmer for an additional 40 minutes until both the beef and potatoes are tender.
  • Uncover and simmer the sauce until reduced, then stir in peanuts. Serve alongside rice, Thai basil, and cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar.
