One-Pot Beef and Sweet Potato Curry Delight
This Beef and Sweet Potato Curry is South African-style comfort food with a sweet, spicy twist.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 750g stewing beef
- 1 large onion
- 5 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger finely chopped
- 2 tbsp curry powder mild or hot
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 400g crushed tomatoes tinned or fresh
- 250ml beef stock
- 1kg sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- toasted almonds optional
Instructions
👩🍳 Brown the Beef
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Sear the beef in batches until golden and well-browned. Remove and set aside
Sauté Aromatics
- In the same pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Spice it Up
- Add curry powder and cumin seeds. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to release the aromatics.
Combine & Simmer
- Return the browned beef to the pan. Add tomatoes, stock, and sweet potatoes. Stir, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook on low for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
Season & Garnish
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice.
Optional Add-Ons
- Stir toasted almonds into the rice for extra texture.
