Curry Ingredients for Pressure Cooker
Locate the complete list and amounts on the recipe card underneath.
Beef - I utilized cubed beef stew meat, perfect for braising in an Instant Pot or slow cooking on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. However, you may utilize any beef cut that is appropriate for slow cooking.
Curry Powder - I utilize a medium-strength curry powder, such as a Madras curry powder. You can utilize your preferred curry powder mix and adjust the spice level to be as mild or as spicy as you desire.
Broth - I utilized beef broth to enhance the beef taste in this curry. You could also use vegetable or chicken stock.
Coconut Milk - I opt for full-fat coconut milk because it offers the best taste and leads to a rich and creamy curry sauce. If you would like, you can opt for light coconut milk.
FOR OVEN BAKING
Utilize a Dutch oven or another sizable lidded oven-safe pot to carry out all the browning and sautéing processes.
After adding the broth and water, cover it with the lid and put it in the oven at 300ºF/150ºC for 2-3 hours or until the beef is fully tender. Conclude the dish by adding the coconut milk and simmer on the stove to reduce the sauce if necessary.
TO COOK SLOWLY
Utilize the instant pot recipe with the browning function on your slow cooker or begin the process in a sturdy pan on the stovetop before moving it to the crockpot.
Place the lid on and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or LOW for 7-8 hours, until the beef is fully tender.
Incorporate the coconut milk and let it simmer uncovered until the sauce reaches the preferred thickness. Alternatively, transfer the curry to a saucepan on the stove if necessary.
FOR COOKING ON THE STOVE TOP
Adhere to the Instant Pot recipe while browning and sautéing the meat and vegetables in a large heavy-bottomed pan on the stove.
After adding the water and broth, heat the curry until it boils, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with the lid and let it cook gently for 2-3 hours until the beef becomes tender.
Incorporate the coconut milk as usual and let it simmer until the curry achieves the desired consistency, then serve.
Commonly Asked Questions
Which kind of beef is ideal for a curry?
For this simple beef curry, a quality stewing beef cut is essential. Braising steak originates from the parts of the cow that are worked hard, making them tougher and ideal for cooking at low temperatures for extended periods, unless using a pressure cooker.
Diced stewing or braising steak is frequently available for purchase. For an excellent braising cut, I would recommend chuck steak, skirt, flat iron steak (also referred to as blade), flank steak, round steak, or brisket.
How can I ensure my beef is soft in a curry?
The secret to achieving fork-tender beef is to make sure you cook it for a sufficient duration. It will prepare more quickly in an Instant Pot than on the stove top, in the oven, or in a slow cooker. You still have to cook it under high pressure for a decent 30 minutes to achieve tender, pull-apart meat.
Options & Alternatives for this Simple Beef Curry Recipe
I've used beef, but this recipe would also be great with lamb shoulder. If you lack stew meat, you can instead prepare a ground beef curry.
Replace beef with bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks, ensuring you modify the cooking times accordingly.
For a spicier curry, incorporate chili powder or red pepper flakes into the curry sauce.
Incorporate additional vegetables into the curry, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, cauliflower, bell peppers, eggplant, or zucchini.
Mix in some leafy greens such as kale, spinach, or chard and let them wilt in the warmth of the curry sauce.
