Curry Beef, pyramid of rice, and sesame crisps



Curry Beef
Served with tortilla sesame crisps, and a pyramid of steamed rice.

Ingredients:
1/14 pounds beef stewing meat or cut up steak meat
3 cloves garlic
3 tbsp curry powder
1 small sweet onion, small cubes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 tsp cumin
1-13.5 ounce can of coconut milk
2 cups beef stock
1 cup of chicken stock
1/4 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ginger
1 potato, small cubes
3/4 cup of chopped carrots
1/2 of a tomato, small cubes,
1/2 cup of leeks
1 cup of water
olive oil for stir fry
2 1/2 tbsp corn starch mixed with 3 tbsp cold water for thickening at the end

Start by cutting your stewing beef into bite size pieces. Next sear them in a stock pot with olive oil. *Add in everything else except the tomato and corn starch mixture. Simmer until meat and vegetables are done. This takes approximately 30 minutes.

At the end to thicken the sauce, stir in the pre-mixed corn starch mixture and stir constantly for a few minutes until sauce thickens. Serve with steamed rice and the tomato pieces on top.

I like this with sesame tortilla crisps. Super easy, simply brush a tortilla with olive oil, add sesame seeds and garlic powder, and bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes until crisp.

*Next, to clean your leeks, cut the end off and cut in half down the middle. Rinse under cold water. They can have a lot of sand and dirt. After rinsing, place into a bowl of cold water, and let set. Any remaining dirt will sift to the bottom of the bowl.
