How to Make Beef Bombay Curry
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
- Add the spice mixture, 2 minced cloves garlic, 2 finely chopped chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 inch grated ginger to the onions. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1.5 lbs of cubed beefsteak (about 1-inch cubes) and cook until well browned on all sides, ensuring the beef is fully coated with the spice mixture. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the beef is incredibly tender, about 1-1.5 hours (depending on the beef's quality).
- Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk.
- Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
