Pinoy Beef Curry

Pinoy Beef Curry. Today I want to share my version of beef curry Pinoy style. This is the first time I cooked the dish and it did turned out great. Cooking is basically the same with my chicken curry and pork curry. I did not deviate too much from the usual Pinoy cooking style for the reason that I am fully aware that a lot of Pinoy do not like curry not unless it is super mild and it should be chicken curry. Again if you really not fan of strong curry then just scale down the amount of curry powder.

Similar to my previous curry post I used coconut milk instead of milk as used by some. I added some chopped chili but you can always omit it if you really do not want your curry hot. Here is the recipe of my version of Pinoy Beef Curry, enjoy.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo beef chuck, cut into large strips
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 large size onion, chopped
2 thumb size ginger, cut into thin strips
2 medium size potato, cut into wedges
1 large size carrot. cut into wedges
2 small size red and green bell pepper, cut into strips
2 pieces red and green chili chopped
1 big can coconut cream
1 bunch snow peas, trimmed
1/4 cup fish sauce
1-2 tbsp. yellow curry powder
1-2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. peppercorns
1/4 cup cornstrach
salt
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

In a sauce pan sauté garlic, ginger and onion until fragrant. Stir in the beef and stir cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add in fish sauce and stir cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the peppercorn, 1/2 part of the coconut milk and 3 to 4 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until the beef are tender, stirring once in a while, add more water as necessary. Now add in the curry powder, the remaining coconut milk, potato, carrot and sugar, continue to simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked. Correct saltines if required. Add in the snow peas and chili, cook for minute, then thicken sauce with cornstarch diluted in 1/4 cup of water, continue to cook for a minute. Add in the bell pepper and cook for another half a minute or so. Serve immediately with a lot of rice.
