December 9 Sunday Dinner
Baby It's Cold Outside
How about a Curry stew. You can use any root vegetables that you want, that is what is so great about this dish. Everyone has different tastes and that is also true about vegetables.
What is great about this dish is that you can chop all of your vegetables, onions and garlic the day before and bag them up (garlic and onion together and vegs in another bag together). Which was great for me as I had a friend for dinner on Saturday and was able to get the chopping done and enjoy her friendship.
You could also cook this the day before and then you could rest on Sunday,
Curried Coconut Beef with Winter Vegetables
Oil/butter mix
Flour
2 lbs Beef loin, chuck you can even use stew meat, just change the cooking times
1 large white onion
5 cloves garlic you can use less or more, to me more is always better
2 Tbsp curry powder, I used yellow you can choose the one you like , just remember you are cooking with beef
1 can unsweetened/sweetened coconut milk. Either works
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh is best but you can use the fake as well, you just need the acid
Here is where it gets fun...choose your vegetables. I will list what I used. You could even use the multi colored carrots, that is fun. I would't use red beets as it will turn your entire dish red. Chop these small as you don't want to be cooking all night.
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Parsnips
Turnips
Salt and Pepper
Ketchup( I know weird right, so so flavorful. There is tomato sauce and a little sugar in ketchup, so flavor it what it carries)
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in either a Dutch Oven or 5 quart cooking pot. Place cubed beef in a bowl add flour and salt and pepper and toss until all beef is coated. Place in pot and brown on all sides. Remove from pot and add chopped onions and garlic, sauté about 2 minutes. Add all to pot. Cook covered for 1-1 1/2 you want the sweet potato to be done but you don't want the carrots to be over cooked. Test after an hour by inserting a fork into the vegetables easy does it. When it inserts easily it is done. Yum
