Aromatic Coconut Beef Curry

• 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms stalks removed after soaking
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 onions sliced
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 1/2 pounds rump steak sliced
• 14 ounces coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• peanuts crushed, to serve

1. Place mushrooms in a heatproof bowl with boiling water. Stand for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Halve mushrooms and remove stalks.
2. Heat oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan on medium. Saute onions, garlic, turmeric and cinnamon sticks for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add rump steak and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until beef has browned. Stir in coconut cream, 1/2 cup mushroom liquid, fish sauce and brown sugar.
4. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 50-60 minutes, until sauce is thick and meat is tender. If sauce becomes too thick, stir in remaining mushroom liquid. Top with peanuts.
