- 1 lb. beef stew meat
- 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 1 heaping tablespoon tapioca powder
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, small diced or sliced thinly
- 3–4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1 heaping tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 heaping tablespoons high quality curry powder
- 2 cups beef bone broth
- 1 14 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 14 oz. can unsweetened coocnut milk
- 3–4 carrots, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 small bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 scallions, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet or enamel pan up over medium/high heat with the coconut oil or olive oil in the pan.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and sprinkle the tapioca powder over the meat and toss to coat.
- Add the meat in batched (if needed) to the pan – giving each piece a little room. Let it sit in the pan and brown up nicely. Flip over and brown the other side. Remove all the beef from the pan and let sit in a bowl or plate.
- Turn to heat to medium. Add the butter and onions to the pan and saute for 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Mix in the thyme, bay leaf, ginger and curry powder. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients together.
- Stir in beef bone broth, tomatoes and cococnut milk. Using a wooden spoon mix everything together while scrapping the bottom of the pan. Add in the beef and cover the pan with a fitted lid. Bring up to a rapid simmer and turn the heat to very low heat.
- Keep covered and on low heat for 1 hour. Add in the carrots and cover for 1 1/2 more hours (stir every 30 minutes or so).
- Turn the heat off and let sit covered for 30 minutes. This is a good time to make your rice or potatoes and heat up your naan.
- Garnish with scallions and cilantro before serving.
