How to Make Elephant Walk Sweet Beef Stew Khar Saiko Kroeung

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the beef cubes with the ginger juice (extracted from the ginger using a mortar and pestle or mini-chopper). Discard the ginger solids.
  2. Marinate the beef for at least 10 minutes.
  3. While the beef marinates, prepare the kroeung paste: Combine all kroeung paste ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth (2-3 minutes).
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the kroeung paste and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the flavors have released (about 2 minutes).
  6. Add the marinated beef to the pot along with brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour in the beef broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer partially covered for 40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  8. Stir in the coconut milk and dissolved tamarind paste. Simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thin, increase the heat slightly to reduce it further.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over cooked rice, accompanied by cucumber slices.
