My Favourite Beef Recipes
This is a very simple and straightforward recipe made with Madras Curry Paste . I always have some freshly made paste in the fridge because I use it for various other recipes like the Spicy Mustard Chicken or these pork chops. I served the curry with some basmati rice. You can serve it with any other starch. Happy cooking!
Serve with mashed potato, basmati rice or pasta.
The curry was amazing!

Yummy Liz! I make my own curry pastes as well and I use the madras paste to turn an otherwise ordinary beef gluten free pie into something rather special that my hubby loves 😃
Hi Cathy
Oh yes I’ve seen all those lovely curries you make. I love fresh curry paste. I’m glad to hear your hubby loves the pie.

Great! So far I’ve dabbled with lamb and chicken. This will do nicely for my beef entrée. Thanks, Liz.
I haven’t eaten lamb in a while, but I eat chicken almost everyday. Lamb should be my next plan. Thanks and have a great day!

Oh yum! Looks quite delicious.
Thank you, Gretchen

Liz, this looks great. I have been wanting to do more curry dishes. I want to try this!
Hi Debbie
Please go ahead. And please give me a feedback!

This’ll be one I tuck away to try when the an weather cools down! It sounds so tasty.
Yes it was so good, yet simple.

This looks so flavorful, Liz! I love curry. I have a question. Can you buy the curry paste? I think I’ve seen it before, but can’t remember. Homemade must be so much better, though. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe!
Thank you, Shari, and yes you can buy curry paste either in your local store or in a speciality Asian store.
My local store has all sorts of hot/mild pastes from vindaloo to tikka masala to Thai curry, to butter chicken.
Have a wonderful week

How about this – I didn’t even hit the ‘pin it’ button yet – and I went right from scrolling down to the Pinterest page!! ; o ) As always – I’d love to just reach into my laptop and take out the bowl or dish or your always-delicious food!!
Hi Cecile
I hope you enjoyed eating it off your laptop…thanks for pinning. You’re such a darling! Enjoy the rest of the week!
