Japanese Beef Curry (or any meat of your choice)

Step 1

Season beef chunks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add beef chunks and sear till they get a brown color all over. Plate them out. Do not overcrowd, cook in batches if necessary.

Step 2

In the same pot, sauté chopped onions till golden brown. Add in garlic and ginger and cook for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

Add in potatoes and carrots, along with beef chunks and mix well. Stir in 3.5 to 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook till meat is tender.

Step 4

Add in curry roux and stir till it dissolves. Add in ketchup, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and apricot jam. Cook for 10-15 additional minutes.
