Jamaican Curry Beef with Potatoes

A comforting and fragrant stew featuring tender beef and creamy potatoes soaked in aromatic Jamaican curry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 tbsp Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 23 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 12 cups beef broth
  • 12 tbsp soy sauce
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the beef cubes with Jamaican curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the seasoned beef and brown on all sides. Transfer browned pieces to a plate.
  4. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Return the beef to the pot, then add the cubed potatoes, beef broth, and soy sauce.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered until the beef is tender and potatoes are cooked, about 60 to 90 minutes.
  7. Check the pot at 45 minutes, adding more broth if necessary. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Brown the beef in batches for better flavor. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
