CURRIED BEEF STEW



Curried Beef Stew image

All Thai curries start with a handful of aromatic ingredients (chiles, galangal, lemongrass, turmeric, etc.) pounded into a paste with a granite mortar and pestle. The paste is then stirred into soups or stews (often with coconut milk) or used as the basis of sautéed dishes. Use a mini-processor to make the curry paste if you'd like, although this incendiary stew will take on a deeper flavor if you use a granite mortar and pestle.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Curry paste:
6 dried puya or 3 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed, seeded
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lemongrass stalk, bottom 4" only, tough outer layer removed, cut into 1" pieces
2 tablespoons sliced peeled fresh galangal
2 tablespoons sliced peeled fresh turmeric
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup halved garlic cloves
1 tablespoon Thai shrimp paste
Stew:
2 pounds trimmed beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2"-2" cubes
3 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably Thai thin soy sauce (such as Healthy Boy)
2 tablespoons ground dried Thai chiles
9 cups beef broth, preferably low-salt
1 cup halved shallots
3 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick half-moons (about 1 cup)
6 fresh or frozen makrut lime leaves
Chopped fresh cilantro
Thinly sliced Thai basil

Steps:

  • For curry paste:
  • In a mortar, pound chiles and salt with a pestle until pulverized, about 5 minutes. Add ingredients one by one in order listed, fully pulverizing each before adding the next, about 15 minutes total. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead; cover and chill.
  • For stew:
  • Combine curry paste, beef, soy sauce, and ground dried chiles in a pot; stir to evenly coat beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender but not falling apart, 2-2 1/2 hours.
  • Stir in shallots, carrots, and lime leaves. Simmer until vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes. If broth is too salty, add water a few tablespoonfuls at a time.
  • Garnish with cilantro and basil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Chuck roast or brisket are good choices.
  • Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions.
  • Add a flavorful broth to the stew, such as beef broth or chicken broth.
  • Season the stew with a variety of spices, such as curry powder, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
  • Serve the stew over rice or noodles, or with a side of bread.
