Red curry beef stew

here is a dish that I threw together the other night, try it out and let me know what you think



Roarys Thai red curry beef stew



2 lbs of diced stew beef

2 peeled and sliced carrotts

1 diced white onion

1 tablespoon of crushed ginger

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

2 stalks of cleaned chopped celery

2 tablespoons red curry paste

3 peeled and large diced potato

6 ounces of diced tomato

4 cups of beef stock

3 tablespoons of flour

.25 cup of oil

juice from 1 lime

salt and pepper to taste



Method;

In a cast iron pot add oil and heat, then sear off meat. Remember to dry off your meat of any excess liquid and do not over crowd the pan with meat. all this does is steam the meat , you are looking to brown it. Once the meat is nicely browned then add all of the other ingridents except the salt and pepper and flour, and saute for 5 minutes . Once this is done then add the flour, this will form a roux on the vegetables . Let this cook for another 5 minutes then add the liquid and season, Place this in an oven at 350 until the meat is tender. Check every 20 minutes or so and stir .



This is great served over rice and drizzle with the lime juice.

be carefull with the curry paste, you can always add more but you do not want too much.

I love curry, I am going to try this once the weather cools and it isn't too hot to have the oven on! Your photos are great, it reminds me of the types of dishes you see at Chaine dinners! Looking forward to more recipes and photos!
