Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add finely sliced onion and sauté for about 5–7 minutes until translucent and tender.
  2. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the pot. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring until fragrant and golden.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red curry paste or curry powder, along with 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon. Optional: add a pinch of chili flakes.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1.5 pounds of beef chuck or stew meat, cut into chunks. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Once browned, pour in 1 can (about 14 oz) of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup of beef broth, and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir well.
  6. Add 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar or honey and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce (or soy sauce). Stir until mixed and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  8. Once fork-tender, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot over rice or with naan.
