Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 4 shallots sliced
  • 450 g beef chuck steak trimmed, cubed
  • ½ cup reduced-salt vegetable stock
  • 4 tsp massaman curry paste or medium curry paste
  • ½ cup light coconut milk
  • 1 cup passata
  • ¼ cup unsalted cashew nuts
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 bay leaves

  • ¼ cup sultanas
  • 2 potatoes peeled, cubed
  • 2 carrots peeled, sliced

To serve

  • ¾ cup jasmine rice
  • ¾ cup peas

Instructions

  • In a non-stick pan, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots and cook for a few minutes. Add beef and brown, stirring continuously, until evenly coloured. Remove beef and shallots from pan and set aside.
  • To the pan, add half of the stock and heat. Stir in curry paste and cook for a minute to release the curry flavours and aromas.
  • Return beef and shallots to the pan. Add remaining curry ingredients and 1½ cups water. Stir to combine. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 1½ hours.
  • Thirty minutes before serving, to a saucepan of boiling water, add rice. Cook for 15 minutes then add the peas. Cook for 5 more minutes and drain well.
  • Serve the curry with rice and fresh coriander.
