Servings: 6

Ingredients

spray canola or olive oil
750g lean diced beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
500mL (2 cups) Maggi Beef stock
1 red capsicum, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
500g potatoes, cut into 3cm pieces

Instructions

Spray a large pan with oil and heat. Cook the meat over medium heat in two batches for 2-3 minutes or until well browned. Set aside. Spray a little more oil into the pan, add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, ginger and curry powder and stirfry for about 30 seconds. Gradually add the stock, stirring to scrape the spices from the bottom of the pan. Return the meat to the pan. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low and cook, covered for 30 minutes or until the meat is tender. Uncover the pan for the last 15 minutes of cooking and stir regularly, so the gravy thickens. Serve with long-grain or basmati rice.
