Ingredients

1 kg chuck or skirt steak

2 onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, crushed

5 red chillies, drained

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 cups coconut milk

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon chilli powder

1 large strip lemon rind

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon soft brown sugar

1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate

Method

1. Trim steak of excess fat and sinew. Cut into 2.5 cm cubes. Place the onion, garlic, chillies, ginger and 2 tablespoons of the coconut milk in a food processor; process until mixture forms a paste. Heat oil in a pan; add paste, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, chilli powder, rind, meat cubes and remaining coconut milk; stir until meat is well coated with spice mixture. Bring to boil and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1½ hours or until meat is tender and the mixture is almost dry.

2. When oil starts to separate from the gravy, add the lemon juice, sugar and tamarind concentrate; stir until heated through. Serve with steamed rice.
