Ingredients

  • 2 lb / 1 kg Stewing beef
  • 1 Large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 30 g Ginger, crushed
  • 2 Red chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons Hot curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoons Black ground pepper

  • 250 ml Water
  • 70 ml Nuoc Cham (fish sauce)
  • 3 Carrots (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 pint Coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Cube beef. Add onion, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, curry powder, turmeric, pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Toss to mix and cover with plastic wrap to marinate overnight, turning occasionally.
  3. In a big, heavy-based saucepan, heat oil on high, add beef, turning to seal in flavors before pouring in the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and Nuoc Cham sauce. After boiling, cover with lid, reduce heat, and simmer for about 1 hour or until meat is cooked.
  4. Add sugar and carrots until they are done for about 15 minutes.
  5. Add cornstarch to coconut milk, stirring to dissolve. Pour this into the curry, stirring for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
  6. Serve in a casserole with rice and salad. Garnish with coriander leaves.
