Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder Adjust based on spice preference
  • 1 can coconut milk (about 14 oz)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh cilantro for garnish Adds color and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, toss in the chopped onion and cook until translucent—about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Cooking
  1. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the curry powder over the browned beef mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, letting it gently bubble for about 10-15 minutes, which allows the flavors to deepen.
Finishing Touches
  1. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the curry warm, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

For substitutions, use ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option, or plant-based meat for a vegetarian version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
