Coconut Beef Mince Curry
Ground beef simmers with coconut milk and a blend of warm spices in this straightforward curry that is ready in 30 minutes. The coconut milk gives the sauce a rich, slightly sweet body that balances the heat from the spices. Serve it over steamed rice for a complete weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef mince preferably organic
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch ginger finely grated
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons curry powder quality blend
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro for garnish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 cups jasmine rice cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the beef mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned all over, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, allowing the spices to toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sliced red bell pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half of the fresh cilantro just before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a chopped green chili with the onions or a dash of chili flakes with the spices. If you prefer a gluten-free option, ensure that the curry powder and fish sauce are certified gluten-free brands.
