Beef Curry

Tonight for dinner I made a beautiful beef curry.  The meat was so tender and tasty and was loved by all!

Ingredients

50 grams unsalted butter

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 medium onions, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 thumb fresh ginger, finely grated

3 tablespoons curry powder (use mild or hot depending on taste, I used mild)

1 teaspoon each: yellow mustard seeds, salt

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1.5kg rump steak, cut into 2.5cm cubes

1 teaspoon chilli paste

400g tin of chopped tomatoes

Directions

Heat the butter and the oil in a heavey-based saucepan over a gentle heat and cook the onion, garlic and ginger until soft.  Add the curry powder and mustard seeds and cook until fragrant.  Add the salt and vinegar and stir well.

Increase the heat slightly and add the meat, tossing to to coat well.  Add the chilli paste and tomatoes, bring to the boil, then lower heat to a simmer.  Cover the pan and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender.  If you have too much juice at the end of cooking, remove the lid from the pan and cook on a high heat until the juice has reduced.  Serve with white rice.
