Coconut Braised Beef
Ingredients
- 2 hot dried red chilies ⓘ
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled ⓘ
- 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 2 tablespoons rice wine or 2 tablespoons other mild vinegar ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed or 2 tablespoons other neutral oil ⓘ
- 1 1/2 lbs beef, preferably chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes ⓘ
- 2 cups coconut milk (or 1 can, about 1 1/2 cups, plus 1/2 cup water) ⓘ
- salt ⓘ
Instructions
- Put chilies, garlic, ginger, chili powder, lime juice and zest in bowl of a food processor, and process until everything is minced, or mince by hand and combine.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet that can later be covered. Add spice paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add beef, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and covered with sauce.
- Pour in coconut milk, and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer, stirring only occasionally (but making sure mixture is simmering very slowly, with just a few bubbles at a time breaking the surface) until meat is extremely tender, at least an hour and possibly closer to 2.
- Uncover and cook until sauce is very thick and caramel-colored, stirring frequently so it does not brown. Season to taste with salt, and serve with white rice.
