Beef Curry

Method

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot and fry the sliced onions until golden and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, breaking up any clumps. Stir in the turmeric, coriander, cumin and chilli flakes, coating the meat thoroughly, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the beef stock and add the fish sauce and tamarind paste, stirring well. Add the potato chunks, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender and the curry has reduced and thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
