  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Serves approximately 4 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 3 Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 5 cups water or stock
  • 1 lb cubed beef (or alternative protein)
  • 8 oz Japanese curry roux
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 red apple (Fuji or Honeycrisp)

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions, carrots, and potatoes into large chunks. Mince the garlic and grate the apple.
  2. Soak potato chunks in warm water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Season cubed beef with salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat; sear beef until browned (about 2-3 minutes) and remove from pot.
  5. Add butter and sauté onions until caramelized (about 8 minutes). Add garlic, then stir in carrots and potatoes for one minute.
  6. Return beef to pot; pour in water and add grated apple, honey, ketchup. Stir well.
  7. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, skimming off any scum as needed.
  8. Check doneness of potatoes; when tender, add curry roux gradually while stirring until fully dissolved.
  9. Simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  10. Serve hot over cooked rice.
