INSTANT POT BEEF CURRY



Instant Pot Beef Curry image

This rich, savory Japanese-style beef curry is typically made with little blocks of store-bought Japanese curry roux. Since the dish comes together so fast in an Instant Pot®, we use the time gained to make a homemade roux with basic pantry ingredients. (Garam masala isn't traditional, of course, but Japanese curry has hints of the flavors in the spice blend.) Combined with Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, grated apple and beef broth, the result is a mildly sweet, spicy curry packed with extra umami. You can serve it over white rice or udon noodles. You can also make it without the beef and pour the sauce over Japanese-style breaded and fried pork or chicken cutlets (tonkatsu or chicken katsu, respectively).

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 Fuji apple, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3/4 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Cooked white rice, for serving
Fukujinzuke (pickled red daikon), for serving

Steps:

  • Place the butter, flour, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and knead until combined. Set the curry roux aside.
  • Pat the beef dry and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the oil to the Instant Pot® and set to high saute (see Cook's Note). When the oil is hot, add the beef in two or three batches to avoid overcrowding and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir once and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the beef to a large plate using a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed.
  • Add the onion and apple to the pot and cook, stirring often and scraping up the browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon, until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and honey and stir to coat. Add the broth and stir to combine. Add the browned beef and any juices accumulated on the plate, Worcestershire sauce, potatoes, carrots and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Scatter dime-size pieces of the curry roux evenly over the top.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high saute for 20 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam.
  • Set the Instant Pot® to high saute and stir until the roux is melted and the curry looks smooth and creamy with no streaks of roux, about 1 minute. If the curry is too thick for your liking, stir in a 1/2 cup to 1 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with rice and fukujinzuke.

INSTANT POT® MASSAMAN BEEF CURRY



Instant Pot® Massaman Beef Curry image

This dinner combines the comfort of beef stew with the vibrancy of Thai flavors, so consider it a quick (thanks to your Instant Pot®) and satisfying alternative to take-out. Massaman curry is a traditional Thai dish with Indian roots-the warming spices found in it are drawn from Indian culinary tradition. While the characteristic spiciness of Thai food is toned way down in this dish, the finishing touches of herbs and citrus make it feel right at home in Southeast Asia. This version definitely delivers on those trademark flavors but does so with a streamlined ingredient list, so you don't need to buy any special ingredients. Serve it up on a bed of rice, topped with a combo of fresh and crunchy toppings, and you've got a dish that's fit for company but still easy enough for a weeknight.
