Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (908 g) ground beef (85/15)
  • ½ tbsp (7.5 g) oil
  • ¼ cup (37 g) flour gluten free if needed
  • 3 tbsp (24 g) curry powder
  • 2 tbsp (16 g) garam masala
  • 1 small (125 g) onion
  • 2 medium (150 g) carrots
  • 1 large (250 g) russet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) ginger
  • 4 cups (960 g) beef broth
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) soy sauce gluten free if needed
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz (227 g) frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • cups (562.5 g) cooked rice

Instructions

For the Rice

  • Prepare enough rice to yield cups (562.5g) cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make between 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on they type of rice and cooking method used.

For the Curry

  • Heat a large pot over medium high heat and add in the beef to brown. We are going to render out the fat and use it to cook the aromatics.
  • While the beef is cooking, wash and chop all of your vegetables. Cut the onion into a small dice, potatoes into a medium to large dice, and the carrots into thinly sliced quarter or half moons. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic.
  • When the beef is about 90% of the way cooked, move it to the perimeter of the pan and allow the rendered fat to pool in the center. Add in the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for a couple of minutes until the onions have lightly browned.
  • Add the curry powder, garam masala, and flour. Stir well to distribute.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and spice mixture. Stir constantly until the flour is well incorporated and lightly browned.
  • Gradually add the 4 cups of beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Add in the carrots and potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid, and allow the pot to boil for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
  • Stir in the 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, and 8oz of frozen peas. Taste test and adjust with seasonings to taste.

Plating

  • This recipe makes 5 servings. Each dish gets ¾ cup of rice. Divide the curry evenly between each dish.

    I’m a big fan of these stew-like recipes. I made a double batch of this recipe and froze half for later. It reheats really nice and tastes great!

    I’m currently enjoying this for lunch as I write a review. It’s great as written but two things to keep in mind, 1 the type of curry powder you are using- 3Tbsp could result in quite a powerful or highly spiced dish. 2 make sure your carrots are diced smaller than your potatoes as they take a lot longer to soften than the potatoes will.

    full disclosure, this is my first time making AND trying curry of any kind. only thing I changed was going with 1 lb of ground and 1lb of stew beef. Best of all I finished this in under an hour! Must say, this is pretty damn good! Thanks for the recipe and broadening my cuisine tastes.
