Coconut and Cinnamon Beef Curry

A creamy, aromatic, hearty coconut and cinnamon beef curry highlights tender, slow-cooked casserole beef with a creamy coconut milk base, warm, aromatic spices, then topped with lots of cilantro and chilli. An easy and delicious dish to pamper your family. You can cook this in a slow cooker for 3-4 hours at low.


4 tbsp Tallow 3 Medium onions, finely sliced 5 Garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tbsp Finely chopped root ginger 3 Cinnamon sticks, halved 4 Cloves ½ tbsp hot chilli powder 1 tbsp Ground turmeric 2 tbsp Garam masala 1.6-2 kg Casserole beef (I used beef bottom round) Sea salt 2 x 400 ml Coconut milk 50 g Ground hazelnuts or almonds 20 g Coriander, roughly chopped 1 Chilli pepper, sliced

Set a large, heavy-based saucepan over a medium to low heat with tallow. Once melted, followed by the onions, garlic, ginger and cinnamon. Fry gently for 20 minutes, or until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized.
Mix in the spices and cook for a few minutes, then increase the heat to high and, once the onions are sizzling, add the meat with a pinch of salt and stir until lightly browned. Add in the coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in the ground nuts and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
Allow the meat to rest, off the heat, for 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks before serving. Garnish with coriander leaves and chilli.

DEZMOND 24/6/26 10:13: Hope you are not turning into curry yourself on this ungodly heat! It has been 40 here for days and no respite at night either, it hasn't gone below 20 for a week now.
Lola Martínez 24/6/26 11:44: Parecido a este guiso he preparado el pollo al curry, así que imagino que con ternera también estará muy rico y es una de las pocas formas en que como esta carne, en salsa o guisada. Tiene muy buen aspecto.

My name is Erika. 25/6/26 14:21: This looks amazing Angie. I never think to try some of these items (like coconut or cinnamon) to most dishes, but it really changes them up, doesn't it? and to answer a couple of questions you asked in comment: 1) I just use a hose to water my garden and 2) a wet baby wipe is a package of wet paper-ish clothes you can buy to wipe off babies bottoms. But they are great for art too because I can wipe my hands, wet paint mistakes off a page, and also when they dry, I can use them to sponge paint or wipe off my table, etc. Have a super day.

Cocoa and Lavender 26/6/26 00:06: Ever since I had a Greek beef stew, I have loved cinnamon with beef. And, I was very excited to find beef tallow at my farmers market this past week. I am definitely putting this on the list to try soon. ~ David
