Peanut beef curry
I was going to give this dish the cutesy name kare-curry, because it's a mashup of two of my favourite foods: kare-kare (Filipino peanut stew) and Thai red curry. I held back on that point, but did indulge a bit by using beef short ribs, one of the all-time awesome meats. The resulting dish was a little sweet, a little salty, a little funky, a little spicy, super savoury, and very, very rich. This recipe isn't for the meek-stomached or those on a diet, but if you're looking for a flavour punch to the taste buds, it's pretty great.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the ribs into a large pot and add the onion, whole garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and several pinches of salt. Add enough cold water to cover the ribs and put the pot on medium heat. Cover with a lid (leave it slightly ajar to help prevent boilovers) and simmer for 2 hours. Check the water level occasionally, and skim the surface to remove scum and pooled grease. Remove the ribs and about 1 1/2 cups of strained boiling liquid. Wipe clean the pot.

Put the pot back on medium heat with a splash of veg oil. Add the chopped garlic, shallot, and ginger and fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and the reserved boiling liquid, then stir in the curry paste and sugar.
- 3
Once the sauce reaches a simmer, stir in the peanut butter until it melts. Add the fish sauce, shrimp paste, and rice wine vinegar. Drop in the ribs and simmer until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced by about half, about 1 hour. Add the beans and simmer a final 3 or 4 minutes. Taste, and add extra fish sauce as required. If the sauce gets too thick, simply thin it with a little water. Garnish with a sprinkle of green onion, and serve with plenty of steamed rice and ice cold beer.

In case it's not obvious from the fact that I've now posted two recipes for it, I love Indian-spiced beef curry. Something about the combination of warm spices, sweet coconut milk, and tender meat really gets my engine revving. This version is much quicker than the previous one (no marinating required). It also has a slightly deeper flavour, thanks to the addition of garam masala and cumin. Differences aside, I love them both and would happily eat either any day.

Filipino beef curry Filipino beef curry
Filipino curry was one of my favourite dishes growing up. Traditionally the protein is chicken, but I chose to make mine with beef. Specifically, brisket. The long cooking time required by the meat allowed the flavours to deepen, and the potatoes to turn soft and silky. Following family tradition, I used ready-made, generic supermarket curry powder. Feel free to use a blend such as masala. The proportions below may vary depending on the strength of your curry powder. -

Tenderest Beef Curry Tenderest Beef Curry
I was looking for something different to do with a roast I had in the freezer and this didn't disappoint. I borrowed a technique from Kenji Lopez-Alt in caramelizing the onions. Adding the water allows the Maillard reactions (responsible for browning) evenly and without burning the onions, resulting in sweet, savory onions. I used top sirloin, but you can use any large roast for this recipe, chuck might actually stand up better to the low, slow cooking. Try to use the freshest spices you can scrounge up!

Sometimes I’ll pick up awkward cuts of meat… if it looks good. Have I ever bought beef shin? Hell no. But, it looks respectable enough to try… reasonably priced enough too.

Beef Short Rib Massaman Curry Beef Short Rib Massaman Curry
This recipe follows the flavor profile of the Massaman Chicken I recently posted, but this time it's made with beef short ribs. The method and order of steps are a bit different to help the flavors soak into the beef, but overall, it's very similar.

Beef Massaman Curry Beef Massaman Curry
My mom used to run a curry rice shop for four or five years. Back then, I was just the helper—washing vegetables, doing dishes, and chopping meat and veggies as needed. Mom would cook several dishes at once, and everything sold out every day. One of the best-selling curries was this beef Massaman. These days, it's hard to find because beef is expensive, so you mostly see pork or chicken Massaman, which I never buy. My sister got a box of beef shank, so I wanted to make Massaman. I checked the fridge and kitchen and had everything I needed—perfect! Let's get started.
