What You Do
Brown the meat
Get your meat to room temperature and minimize it into cubes. I like to make use of my sous vide machine for a number of hours or in a single day on robust cuts of meat first to make it extra tender. With the meat at room temperature, it’s simpler to brown.
Preheat the Dutch oven on the stovetop to medium warmth. I’m utilizing the Camp Chef Dutch Oven I exploit whereas tenting, however an enameled dutch oven works, too. The important thing to browning meat is to not transfer it as soon as it’s within the pan. Let it get good and browned and one aspect earlier than stirring. That brown tastes and feels good in your mouth within the stew.
Onions, Garlic, Curry
Take away the meat from the pot and add extra oil (or butter) to sauté the onions and garlic. Just like the meat, don’t stir too steadily. When the onions begin to look a little bit translucent, add the curry powder and blend collectively. Stir fry one other minute or two minutes.
Coconut Milk & Water
Add within the coconut milk and water and stir effectively. Deliver it again as much as a simmering boil. Add the meat again into the pot and let it simmer coated till the meat is fork-tender. This might take half-hour when you didn’t sous vide first.
Stir sometimes.
Spuds, And so on.
As soon as the meat is getting tender, add the potatoes. If you happen to’re including carrots, corn, or anything, that is the time to place it in. It’ll thicken a little bit with the potatoes added.
Cowl and let this all simmer till the spuds are tender, most likely half-hour. Stir sometimes.
Pace Enhance
When you have a strain cooker, like an InstaPot, you would cook dinner the potatoes and carrots in that at excessive strain for about 1 minute and drastically scale back the cooking time. You could possibly even strive it with the meat, however I don’t have expertise with that.
Season & Serve
That is going to want salt. Begin with a half teaspoon and go up from there, tasting as you go. You could possibly additionally add Cayan pepper for a little bit kick.
If you happen to like crispy onions, take away them from the pan earlier than including the curry; add the curry powder on to the coconut milk as an alternative and add the onions again in simply earlier than serving.
Serve the stew over rice or with a loaf of crusty bread.
When you have extra folks, simply add extra coconut milk and a 1/2 cup water per can. You possibly can add extra potatoes and carrots and extra meat is all the time a good suggestion. My quantity 12 Camp Chef Dutch oven simply holds 4 cans of coconut milk and spuds. I feel I might do six cans-worth in it.
