How to Make Beef Kurmah Curried Beef

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes in batches and brown on all sides. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  2. Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the pan. Add spring onions, garlic, and ginger; cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in coriander, cumin, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, and lemongrass. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Return the browned beef to the pan. Pour in coconut milk and chili. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1-1.5 hours, or until beef is very tender.
  5. Stir in the cashew nuts and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Before serving, remove and discard the cinnamon stick, star anise, and cardamom pods.
