Garlic and Ginger Beef Curry

Ingredientes

• 2 1/2 tsps ground coriander
• 1 colher de chá ground cumin
• 1/4 colher de chá dried red pepper flakes
• 0,12 colher de chá turmeric
• 1/2 colher de chá salt
• 3 colheres de sopa olive oil
• 3 tbsps chopped cilantro
• 3 dente garlic, minced
• 3 colheres de chá ginger, minced
• 1 média onion, cut in thin slices
• 1 oz water
• 24 oz sirloin steak, cut in cubes

Instruções

1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over a moderate heat.
2. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add garlic and ginger and continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring.
4. Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, turmeric, salt and water into a paste. Add the paste to the onion and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
5. Add the meat to the pan and cook, stirring for 3 minutes.
6. Raise the heat to moderately high and cook to your taste, stirring about 2 minutes longer for medium rare.
7. Stir in cilantro and serve.
8. Note: a long-simmering curry becomes a quick one when you substitute a tender cut of beef (like sirloin or fillet) and stir-fry it till medium-rare.
