Ingredients
3 large onions (2 lb 13 oz, 1.3 kg)
3 carrots (8 oz, 230 g)
1 russet potato (9.5 oz, 270 g)
8 mushrooms (9.2 oz, 260 g)
2 lb. (907g) lean beef stew meat
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil (1 Tbsp. for beef, 1 Tbsp. for onion)
2 Tbsp. butter (1 Tbsp. for beef, 1 Tbsp. for onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch (2.5 cm) ginger, grated
1 Tbsp. curry powder
2 Tbsp. tomato paste (or ketchup)
1 cup red wine
8 cups (2 QT, 1.9 L) beef broth
2 bay leaves
1 box (7-8.4 oz, 200-240g) Japanese curry roux (or make homemade roux)
2 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
¼ apple (I use Fuji apple) (optional)
Fukujinzuke (pickled daikon, eggplant, cucumber, lotus root) to serve (optional)
Instructions
Cut the onion into thin slices. Cut the carrot diagonally while rotating it a quarter between cuts (in Japanese we call this cutting technique “rangiri”).
Beef Curry 1
Halve the potato, and then cut each piece into quarters. Soak in water for 15 minutes to remove the starch.
Beef Curry 2
Clean the mushrooms with a pastry brush (don’t wash mushrooms) and slice them.
Beef Curry 3
Cut the beef into 1 ½ inch cubes and sprinkle salt and pepper. Coat the meat with the flour.
Beef Curry 4
In a cast iron skillet, heat oil and butter on high heat. Add the beef but do not crowd the skillet. Do a second batch if necessary. Cook beef until brown.
Beef Curry 5
In a large heavy bottomed pot or large pot, heat the butter on medium heat and add the onion. Add the olive oil and stir to coat the onion with the oil. Add 1 tsp. salt after 10 minutes and sauté the onion until it’s soft and translucent.
Beef Curry 6
Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, and tomato paste and sauté for 2 minutes.
Beef Curry 7
Add the beef and the wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
Beef Curry 8
Add the vegetable and pour the beef broth until it covers the vegetables. Cover with the lid and bring it to a boil.
Beef Curry 9
When boiling, skim off the scum and fat from the soup. After skimming, I dip the fine mesh in a measuring cup to clean. It’s easy to remove the scum/fat from the fine mesh this way.
Beef Curry 10
Add bay leaf, cover with the lid but leaving slightly ajar, and simmer until vegetables are tender.
Beef Curry 11
Once in a while, skim the broth. Add the rest of beef stock (if you have any leftover and if necessary).
Beef Curry 12
Using a ladle and with fork/chopsticks, dissolve the roux. If the curry is too thick for your taste, add water to dilute. From this point, stir often and be careful not to burn the curry!
Beef Curry 13
Add milk and Worcestershire sauce. Grate the apple to add a hint of sweetness. Simmer uncovered on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the curry becomes thick. Serve the curry with Japanese rice on the side topped with fukujinzuke.
