Equipment

Large skillet or Dutch oven
Cutting board
Chef’s knife
Measuring spoons
Can opener
Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

1.5 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 can full-fat coconut milk 13.5 oz or 400 ml
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, grated
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp chili powder adjust to taste
½ tsp ground coriander
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and all the spices (garam masala, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves). Cook for 1 minute to allow the spices to release their flavors.
Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the curry has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Serve this hearty beef curry over cauliflower rice or alongside keto-friendly naan bread to keep the entire meal low-carb. The flavors deepen over time, making this dish an excellent option for meal prep or leftovers. If you prefer a spicier curry, feel free to add more chili powder or a diced hot pepper while cooking. Enjoy the exotic flavors of a classic curry without the added carbs!
