- Sear the Beef:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef cubes in batches and sear them until they are browned on all sides. Remove the seared beef and set it aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the Spices:
- Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavors.
- Simmer with Tomatoes:
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and combine with the spices.
- Return the Beef:
- Return the seared beef to the pot and stir to coat it with the spice and tomato mixture.
- Add Liquids:
- Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer and Cook:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the beef curry simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef becomes tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally and add more beef broth if needed to maintain the desired consistency.
- Serve:
- Serve the beef curry hot over cooked rice or with naan bread.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
