British Beef Curry

 Ingredients

• 25g butter
• 750g  chuck steak, cut into 4cm cubes
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1½ tbsp garam masala
• 1½ tsp salt
• 600ml beef stock
• 50g desiccated coconut

Method

Melt the butter in a large, sturdy pan over a medium heat. Add the steak, in batches, and fry for a few minutes until browned and then remove to a plate. Add the onions to the same pan and fry for 10 minutes, or until softened and golden-brown.

Add the garlic and fry for one minute, then return the meat to the pan, along with any juices on the plate. Stir in the chilli powder, turmeric, one tablespoon of the garam masala, and the salt, and cook for one minute.

Add the stock, followed by the coconut. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over a low heat for 45 minutes to an hour or until the beef is tender. Stir in the remaining garam masala and serve.
