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.
