Beef Curry (Oamc)

• 2 kg stewing beef (I use gravy or shin beef)
• 1/2 kg skirt steak
• 1 potato (peeled and cut into large diced pieces 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 potato (peeled and cut into small diced pieces 1 1/4 cups)
• 1 sweet potato (peeled and diced into large pieces 2 cups)
• 1 onion (peeled and quartered and separate segments 1 cup)
• 2 carrots (peeled and cut in chunks 1 cup)
• 2 tablespoons curry powder (I use Clive of India)
• 2 teaspoons mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
• 1 cup beef stock (use beef granules + water)
• 1 (400 g) can diced tomatoes (about 14 ounces)
• 1/2 cup flour, seasoned with
• salt and pepper
• 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce, plus
• 1 teaspoon sugar, I actually use 1/4 cup lancanshire sauce but ZAAR won't accept
• 1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs (I use oregano, thyme and rosemary)
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon mixed fresh herbs (extra, chop just before using)
• 8 -12 tablespoons oil (for cooking)

1. Preheat oven to 150 degree C (300 degree F).
2. Peel and dice vegetables.
3. Mix curry powder, mustard powder and sugar together.
4. Trim and dice meats into large bit size pieces.
5. Coat meat with seasoned flour (best way I found is to put flour in a large bowl and in batches put the meat in to be coated, shake of excess and cook that batch continue to all meat used).
6. In a heavy duty pot (suitable for oven) put in oil (enough to cover bottom of pot) and over medium/high heat cook meat in batches to seal, set to one side, keep warm covered with alfoil or use a casserole dish with lid.
7. Wipe pot clean (to get rid of burnt flour).
8. Heat 2 tablepoons oil over medium high heat, cook potatoes and sweet potatoe for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to low.
9. Remove potatoes with slotted spoon onto a plate and put to one side.
10. Add more oil if required and turn heat up to medium/high and add onion and saute till soft. Turn heat to low.
11. Remove with slotted spoon and add to potatoes.
12. Over medium heat add curry powder, mustard powder and sugar mixture and the garlic cook till fragrant (about 1/2 to 1 minute).
13. Add vegetables to curry mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes of medium/high heat.
14. Now add the meat and mix well with the vegetables.
15. Add carrot, beef stock, tomatoes, lancanshire (or worcestershire),fresh herbs, cayenne pepper, chilli powder and ginger powder. Mix well together.
16. If meat and vegetables are not covered in liquid, top up with water and stir.
17. Put lid on pot and put into oven for 3 - 4 hours, till meat is tender, stirring occassionally.
18. Just before serving add extra tablespoon of fresh herbs (chop just before using).
19. Serve with rice.
