This coconut beef curry is rich, deeply spiced, and incredibly comforting.

The result is a bold, flavorful dish with the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

For the Beef Curry
2.5 lbs beef chuck, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 large onion, finely sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Pat the beef chunks dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
  • Stir in the garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the red curry paste, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and chili flakes. Stir and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  • Return the seared beef to the pot. Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth, stirring to combine.
  • Add the brown sugar and fish sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. For deeper flavor, you can simmer up to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or fish sauce if needed.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice or with warm flatbread.
