Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Mince the ginger.
- Slice the red hot chili peppers.
- Peel and cube the potatoes.
- Roughly chop the peanuts.
- Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the Massaman curry paste to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes to release its flavors.
- Add the beef chunks to the pot and cook until they’re browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth.
- Add the cinnamon stick, sliced red hot chili peppers, and bay leaves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- Add the cubed potatoes, brown sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce to the pot.
- Continue to simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the roughly chopped peanuts and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves from the pot.
- Serve the curry hot over steamed jasmine rice or with warm naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality beef such as chuck roast or brisket for the best results. These cuts become very tender when slow-cooked.
- Toast the peanuts briefly before adding them to the curry to enhance their flavor.
- Adjust the level of spice by adding more or fewer chili peppers according to your preference.
- For a thicker curry, reduce the coconut milk slightly or simmer the curry uncovered for an extended period.
- Serve the curry with jasmine rice or naan to soak up the delicious sauce.
