Delicious Beef Coconut Curry Recipe for a Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb beef, cut into cubes
  • 1 can coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  2. Brown the Beef

    Add the beef cubes to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.

    Do not overcrowd the pot; brown in batches if necessary.
  3. Add Spices

    Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir to coat the beef evenly.

    Let the spices cook for about a minute to enhance the flavor.
  4. Pour in Coconut Milk

    Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine.

    Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  5. Simmer with Vegetables

    Add the bell pepper and fish sauce, then bring the mixture to a simmer.

    Cover and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Finish with Lime Juice

    Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice just before serving.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
