Ingredients

  • about 910 g Beef Stew Meat
  • 2 large Zucchini
  • 1 large Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Ginger
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder

  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 910 g of beef stew meat into 2.54 cm cubes. Prepare the 2 large zucchinis by using a vegetable peeler to create ribbons. Chop the 1 large onion, mince the 4 cloves of garlic, and mince the 2 tbsp of ginger.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, about 190°C. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Do not crowd the pot; brown in batches if necessary.
  3. 3Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the pot with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4Stir in the 1 tsp of turmeric powder and the 1/2 tsp of chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. 5Pour in the 3 tbsp of fish sauce and the 1 can of full-fat coconut milk. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. 6Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender. The internal temperature of the beef should reach at least 74°C.
  7. 7While the curry is cooking, steam or lightly sauté the zucchini ribbons until they are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcook them.
  8. 8Serve the beef curry spooned over the prepared zucchini ribbons. Garnish with the 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro.
