How to Make Beef Curry With Apples And Raisins

  1. In a ziploc bag, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes) to the bag and shake until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until caramelized, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Remove the browned beef from the skillet and set aside. Drain excess oil if needed.
  5. Add 1 large onion (chopped) to the skillet and sauté with 1/4 cup beef stock until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Stir in 1 bay leaf, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 4 cloves, 1 teaspoon Splenda (or sugar), and 1 1/2 cups beef stock.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  8. Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  10. Add 1 cup peeled and diced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), 1 cup peeled and cubed potatoes, and 1/2 cup raisins to the pan.
  11. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  12. Remove the bay leaf and cloves before serving. Discard the cloves and garlic (if added).
  13. Serve the beef curry generously over cooked couscous.
