How to Make Beef Curry
- In a large bowl, combine 2 lbs beef stew meat with 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub well to coat, cover, and chill for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight).
- Heat 1 tsp coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp cardamom, and 1/4 tsp cloves. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Remove spices from skillet and grind to a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Add 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned beef and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 large chopped onion and 1 inch grated ginger to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the ground spice mixture and 1 tbsp paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Return the beef to the pot. Add 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, 1 cup beef broth, 1 tsp garam masala, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
