AFRICAN BEEF CURRY

This African beef curry recipe is popular with my family and friends. It's from my Aunt Linda, who was a missionary in Nigeria for 45 years. The stew is served on a bed of rice and sprinkled with toppings. I put the bowls of toppings on my large turntable, and everyone can take whatever they want. In addition to the coconut, peanuts and raisins, you could also top the stew with chopped cucumbers, pineapple tidbits or mandarin orange slices.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb lean stewing beef
1 small onion
2 small bell peppers
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups rice
raisins

Steps:

  • Cut the beef into 1/2 inch cubes.

  • About 45 minutes to a half hour before ready to serve, prepare the rice according to package directions.
  • Serve the beef over the rice and top with some raisins.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for grass-fed or organic beef for a richer flavor and better texture.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of spices and yogurt or buttermilk helps tenderize it and infuses it with flavor
  • Brown the beef: Searing the beef in a hot pan before simmering it creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.
  • Use a variety of spices: The key to a flavorful African beef curry is using a blend of spices. Common spices include cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper. For a spicier curry, add more.
  • Serve with rice or flatbread: African beef curry is traditionally served with rice or flatbread, such as naan or roti.
