Coconut Curry Shredded Beef is a flavorful dish made with tender beef chuck roast simmered in a rich coconut curry sauce, perfect for serving over rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the skillet until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and coriander, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
- Pour in the coconut milk, beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Return the seared beef to the skillet, making sure it is submerged in the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the skillet, adding the sliced red bell pepper and frozen peas. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
- Serve the coconut curry shredded beef over cooked rice or quinoa, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño or a teaspoon of red pepper flakes when sautéing the onions.
- Substitute the beef with shredded chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
