How to Make Beef Curry With Fruit

  1. Trim visible fat from 1.5 lbs beef roast and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
  4. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  6. In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine: 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks (undrained), 1 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Add the browned beef and cooked onion to the slow cooker.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or until beef is very tender.
  9. Stir in 1 cup mango chunks, 1/2 cup chopped kiwi, and 1/2 cup red grapes.
  10. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, or until fruit is heated through and flavors have melded.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or curry powder to your preference.
  12. Serve the curry over fluffy couscous.
  13. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
