A spicy beef curry recipe with fall-apart beef. Packed full of flavor! This slow-cooked beef curry will be the centerpiece of any dinner party. Start it early in the day and let it cook slowly, reducing down the liquid to a thick, flavorful sauce.

Of course you don’t have to keep this one for guests. An weekend treat with a cool glass of beer – this will beat any takeout!

I like to cook my sauce down a lot, almost so it’s just a thick coating on the meat – rather than an actual pouring sauce. Once you reach this point in the cooking process, the oil from the coconut milk starts to caramelize the meat, so it’s almost like a beef rendang.

If you like your curry a little saucier, you can take it out of the oven 30 minutes earlier, or just stir in some hot water at the end. The sauce is deeply flavorful, so it can take the addition of 1/2 to 1 cup of water without losing any taste.

The curry can also be cooled and frozen, then defrosted and reheated later. Serve it with some plain boiled rice, or even better, some sticky jasmine rice.
