Ingredients
  

  • 0.8-1 lb Beef Chuck Roast or Ribeye Steak - cut into 1” squares
  • 1 yellow onion - roughly diced
  • 1 large potato - roughly cut into 1” chunks and soak in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch
  • 1 large carrot - roughly cut into 1” chunks
  • 3.2-4.2 oz S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix, cut into small pieces
  • 10 g dark chocolate - optional
  • 5-6 cups water
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
  • Salt - to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and just slightly caramelized.
  • Remove onion from pan then add prepared beef chunks. Spread them in an even layer and sear for about 3 minutes until the bottom becomes brown and toasty. Flip them and continue searing for a total of 6-7 more minutes, flipping every 1-2 minutes.
  • Add potato, carrot chunks, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, to the pan with the beef chunks, saute for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer everything including sautéed onions, to a dutch oven or medium-large pot. Add water (enough to cover the ingredients), curry sauce mix, chocolate, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt to the pot and bring it to a boil. Cover with a lid and turn the heat to low, simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally (mixture might stick to the bottom of the pot without stirring once the it gets thick).
  • Turn off the heat, add more salt to taste if needed. Serve hot with some freshly cooked white rice, enjoy!

Sauté the Onion:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it’s soft and slightly caramelized.
  • Remove the onion from the pan and set it aside.

Sear the Beef:

  • In the same pan, add the beef chunks in an even layer.
  • Sear the beef for about 3 minutes until the bottom is browned and toasty.
  • Flip the beef and continue searing for an additional 6-7 minutes, flipping every 1-2 minutes to ensure even browning.

Add Vegetables:

  • Add the potato and carrot chunks to the pan with the beef.
  • Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Simmer the Curry:

  • Transfer the seared beef, sautéed onions, and vegetables to a Dutch oven or medium-large pot.
  • Add enough water to the pot to cover the ingredients, then add the curry sauce mix, chocolate, Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce), and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
  • Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking as it thickens.

Finish and Serve:

  • Turn off the heat and taste the curry. Add more salt if needed.
  • Serve hot over freshly cooked white rice.
  • Enjoy!
