Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Spice Mix

  • 2 pounds chuck roast, diced into ¾–1 inch cubes
  • 1 cup diced onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger (1 large knob)
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder

For Cooking

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes (with their juice)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Mix the beef and spices: In a large bowl, combine the diced chuck roast, diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, garam masala, curry powder, ground coriander, mustard powder, salt, turmeric, and red chili powder. Toss everything together well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
  2. Cook the beef and onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion mixture to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned on all sides and the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes and water, then boil: Pour the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the water into the skillet with the browned beef. Add the bay leaf, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer the curry: Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. This allows the beef to cook through fully and the sauce to thicken slightly, concentrating the flavors.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove the bay leaf from the curry. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed. Serve hot with your choice of rice or bread.

Notes

  • Beef chuck roast is ideal for this curry due to its marbling and tenderness after cooking.
  • You can adjust the red chili powder depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Simmering the curry uncovered helps in thickening the sauce; if you want a thicker curry, simmer a bit longer.
  • This dish pairs well with basmati rice or naan bread.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of cream or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.
