Slow Cook the Curry
Finish and Serve
Replace beef with mutton (goat meat) for a more traditional Indian flavor. Increase the slow-cooking time by 30-45 minutes as mutton takes longer to become tender.
Add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered, along with the beef during the slow-cooking stage for a heartier curry. You may need to add a little extra water.
For a creamier, milder version, add 1/4 cup of coconut milk or heavy cream at the very end of cooking. For a spicier kick, increase the red chili powder and add more slit green chilies.
Beef is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
This curry provides a significant amount of heme iron from the beef, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron. Iron is crucial for preventing anemia and supporting red blood cell production.
Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic contain powerful compounds such as curcumin and allicin, which have proven anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support overall health and immunity.
One serving of this Beef Curry contains approximately 530-560 calories, depending on the fat content of the beef cut used. This does not include accompaniments like rice or naan.
Beef Curry can be part of a balanced diet. It is an excellent source of protein and iron. However, it can be high in saturated fat and calories. To make it healthier, use a leaner cut of beef, trim any excess fat, and use oil sparingly.
The best cuts are those with some fat and connective tissue that break down during slow cooking, making the meat tender. Beef chuck, stew meat, or boneless short rib are all excellent choices.
Yes. Follow the recipe steps through building the curry base. After adding the beef and water, secure the lid. In a stovetop pressure cooker, cook for 6-7 whistles (about 30 minutes). In an Instant Pot, cook on High Pressure for 35 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release.
If the gravy is too watery after the beef is cooked, simply remove the lid and simmer the curry on medium heat for another 10-15 minutes until it reduces and thickens to your liking.
