A delicious and easy recipe for savory ground beef curry, perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Cooked rice or naan for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat the beef and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the curry over cooked rice or with naan, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier curry, stir in 1/2 cup of coconut milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or use lentils for a vegetarian version.
