Coconut Beef Curry

This dish is a quick and simple curry recipe that is a bit like a Beef Stroganov, except it has a bit more flavour with the addition of curry flavourings. The flavour in the end is a mild one but the addition of coconut milk and a dash of cream makes a rich and flavourful dish.

We start off by marinading thin strips of sirloin steak (or use fillet steak if your feeling flash) in a light seasoning of curry powder and paprika. We then fry the beef very quickly for 1-2 minutes to add some colour and then set aside. Onions are then caramelised and cooked with more curry spices and then you re-add the beef at the end to cook through the sauce. The cooking time is only around 20 minutes but the result is very enjoyable.

We added a touch of double cream at the end to give it a bit of richness but this is completely optional and it tasted just as nice with just the coconut milk. Goes really well with basmati rice to soak up the creamy sauce.

Adding mushrooms also works really well with this curry and top with freshly chopped coriander.
