Beef Curry With Apples And Raisins Recipes

SWEET BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Dice the steak into cubes (the thickness of your steak will govern the size of the cubes, but if possible don’t exceed ¾-inch cubes).
• Brown the meat in the pan with the oil.
• Add the stage two ingredients, and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce heat and simmer covered for 1½ hours or until the meat is tender (i.e. falls apart).
• Steam your rice closer to the end of the cooking time. (2 cups rice, 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, microwave for 14 mins).
• Stir in the blended cornflour and water (stage 3 ingredients) and keep stirring over medium heat until the mixture bubbles (not quite boiling but close) and thickens.
• Serve curry on bed of rice.
• I always do this in the pressure cooker which produces a far superior result as far as I’m concerned, however if planning to do it on the stovetop you may need more than the 1.5 hours specified, and beware of the liquid levels so as to prevent sticking.

BEEF CURRY WITH APPLES AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a Ziploc bag. Add meat and shake until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in a skillet and brown meat in batches until caramelized. Remove from skillet and drain excess oil as needed.
• Sauté onion with a splash of beef stock until softened. Add bay leaf, curry powder, cloves, Splenda, and remaining stock. Bring to a simmer. Add meat and any accumulated juices. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for an hour.
• Add fruit and potatoes to the pan and cook, covered, for another 45 minutes. Discard bay leaf, cloves, and garlic. Serve over the cooked couscous. (It's also good over rice).

APPLE AND RAISIN CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Combine the spices and mix well together.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until onion starts to soften.
• Add the spices. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
• Add the chicken, mixing to fully coat it in spices. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Blend the yogurt and tomato paste together and add to the chicken mixture.
• Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the curry for 40 minutes.
• Add the apples and raisins and simmer for an additional 10 to 20 minutes.
• Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
