Kerala-Style Beef Stew

Serves4
Method

Steps

  1. Heat 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper. Working in 2 batches and adding remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil between batches, add beef and sear, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate.
  2. Stir in garlic, chiles, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tsp. pepper and turmeric; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and reserved beef; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender, about 45 minutes.
  3. Add carrots, potatoes, and onions. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 15–20 minutes. Stir in coconut milk.
  4. Divide among bowls. Garnish with cilantro.
