Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions

- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5 cups water (or stock)
- 1 lb cubed beef (or other protein alternative)
- 8 oz Japanese curry roux
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 red apple, grated
- 8 cups medium grain white rice
Instructions
- Prep the veggies: Chop your potatoes, carrots, and onions into large chunks or slices—about 1-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the apple.
- Season the beef: Salt your beef cubes generously and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Sear the beef: In a pot over medium heat, add a teaspoon of cooking oil and sear the beef cubes for about 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides.
- Caramelize the onions: Add the butter and toss in the onions, sautéing for about 8 minutes until caramelized.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, then add in the potatoes and carrots, stirring for 1 minute.
- Combine with beef: Add the cooked beef back to the pot.
- Add the liquid: Pour in 5 cups of water (or stock) and add the grated apple, honey, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer it down: Cover the pot and let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes.
- Check for doneness: The curry is ready when a potato can be easily pierced.
- Finish with curry roux: Add the curry roux to the pot, stirring to dissolve.
- Thicken up: Let the curry simmer uncovered on medium-low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Serve it up: Serve it over bowls of medium grain rice.
