Ingredients

Spices and Aromatics

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 lb ground beef (15% fat or less)
  • 1 russet potato (¾ lb.), peeled and cubed into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, then sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (if using). Continue to sauté for 1 more minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
  4. Prepare Potatoes: While the beef cooks, peel the russet potato and cut it into ½-inch cubes.
  5. Add Potatoes and Broth: To the cooked beef mixture, add the cubed potatoes and 1 cup of beef broth. Stir to evenly distribute ingredients. Cover the skillet with a lid and increase heat to medium-high.
  6. Simmer Until Potatoes are Tender: Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Reduce Broth: Remove the lid and continue simmering for a few more minutes until most of the broth has evaporated and the potatoes are tender.
  8. Add Peas and Season: Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and heat through for a couple of minutes. Taste the curry and add about 1/2 teaspoon salt or to preference.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle sliced green onions on top if desired, and serve the curried ground beef hot.

Notes

  • Use ground beef with 15% fat or less to keep the dish flavorful but not overly greasy.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper amount according to your heat preference or omit for milder flavor.
  • If beef broth is unavailable, you can substitute with water and a beef bouillon cube for richness.
  • For a quicker cook time, cut potatoes smaller, but keep them about ½ inch for the best texture.
  • Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat on stovetop or microwave.
