Curried Beef with Winter Vegetables

4.4
(19)

The UK has large Indian and Pakistani populations, so curry is a popular meal where I live. I don't like hot curries, but mild ones are a nice change. This is a mild curried beef recipe with winter root vegetables. It's very filling and goes nicely with brown basmati rice. Chinese five-spice is a mixture of anise seed, cinnamon, fennel, black pepper, and cloves.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 8 ounces beef for stew, such as beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 onions, peeled and diced

  • 2 celery ribs, chopped

  • 2 (3 inch) pieces fresh ginger, peeled and diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

  • 2 medium parsnips, peeled and sliced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 1 cup cashews

  • ½ cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.

  2. Place beef in a saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, ginger, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder, ground coriander, five-spice powder, and turmeric until vegetables evenly coated; cook 5 minutes more. Add carrots, potatoes, apples, parsnips, and zucchini. Stir in beef and cooking liquid, raisins, and cashews; toss to combine and evenly distribute spices.

  4. Transfer beef and vegetable mixture to the prepared roasting pan; drizzle 1/2 cup water over top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 hour.
