Now, I have a confession to make—this recipe came to life during one of those “what’s in the pantry” moments. I had some beef in the fridge and a craving for something spicy. With a few tweaks and some trial and error, this dish became a family favorite. And trust me, it’s a showstopper when you’re hosting friends. The best part?

Beef Curry Recipe


Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 500g beef, cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 can (400ml) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- Fresh chili slices (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
How to Make It:
- Heat the oil in a sturdy pot or Dutch oven. Brown the beef cubes on all sides until they develop that golden crust. (Don’t skip this step—it locks in the flavor!) Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the onions until they’re caramelized and soft. This is where the magic starts—caramelized onions are the heart of any good curry!
- Stir in the curry powder, paprika, and tomato paste. Cook for about a minute to release those mouthwatering aromas.
- Add the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Give it a good stir and bring everything to a gentle boil.
- Return the beef to the pot, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours. The longer, the better—the beef will become melt-in-your-mouth tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and chili slices for a bit of extra zing. Serve with fluffy rice or naan bread.
Why This Recipe Works:
The beauty of this beef curry recipe lies in its simplicity. The slow simmering allows the flavors to meld together, creating a dish that’s rich, hearty, and perfectly spiced. If you’re not a fan of too much heat, you can tone it down by adding a swirl of yogurt when serving—it adds a creamy, tangy touch that’s hard to resist.
My Pro Tip:
Always use good-quality beef. It makes a world of difference. And if you’re short on time, you can use a pressure cooker to speed up the process, but I promise, slow-cooking is worth the wait. Plus, your house will smell like a gourmet kitchen!
