AFRICAN BEEF CURRY



African Beef Curry image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the stewpot helps to develop its flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your stew, the more flavorful it will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Add some spices and herbs: Spices and herbs can help to add depth of flavor to your stew. Some good options include curry powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Simmer the stew for at least an hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat will become and the more the flavors will develop.
  • Serve the stew over rice or noodles: Beef stew is traditionally served over rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with mashed potatoes, dumplings, or bread.

Conclusion:

Curried banana beef stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are soft and sweet, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
