Ingredients

Beef Massaman

  • 800g beef braising steaks
  • 1 Tbsp massaman spice mix
  • 1 Tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 25-50g massman curry paste
  • 400g baby potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 2-3 tsp brown sugar
  • ½-1½ cups beef stock
  • ½ bag baby spinach
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Naan Bread

  • 2 garlic naan breads

Cucumber Salsa

  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 2 Tbsp coriander
  • 40g chopped peanuts
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

Steps

  1. Pat beef dry, (leave whole for slow cooker or dice 2cm for oven method). In a medium bowl, toss beef with massaman spice mix, ginger, garlic and massaman curry paste. Set aside.
  2. Cut potatoes in half; cut carrots into 2cm batons; cut onion into 2cm wedges. Place veggies with beef in slow cooker/casserole dish, cover and set aside in the fridge.
  3. Preheat oven to 220°C (if using). Line an oven tray with baking paper. Pour coconut cream, sugar and stock (½ cup for slow cooker, 1½ cups for oven) over beef. Cover and cook in slow cooker for 8-9 hours on low or in oven for about 2 hours. Beef will easily pull apart when ready.
  4. When beef is cooked, stir through spinach and soy sauce and set aside to rest for 6-8 minutes. Roughly pull or chop beef for slow cooker and return to sauce.
  5. While beef is resting, place naan breads on prepared tray and heat in oven for about 6-8 minutes, until heated through and golden. Slice each naan into 2-3 pieces. Finely dice cucumber and roughly chop coriander. Place in a medium bowl along with peanuts and vinegar.
  6. Divide beef massaman between bowls and top with cucumber salsa. Serve naan bread on the side.
