A great low carb beef curry that's replete with traditional flavors.

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

2 1/2 tsps ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes
0.12 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsps olive oil
3 tbsps chopped cilantro
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsps ginger, minced
1 medium onion, cut in thin slices
1 oz water
24 oz sirloin steak, cut in cubes

Instructions

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.
