    Curried Beef with Fresh Pineapple


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    12 ounces sirloin steak, 1-inch thick
    3 teaspoons curry powder
    3 teaspoons cornstarch or tapioca starch
    2 teaspoons raw sugar or brown sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons rice cooking wine
    2 teaspoon olive oil

    1 fresh, ripe pineapple
    5 teaspoons olive oil
    1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
    1 medium tomato, chopped into 1/2-inch wedges
    2 ounces (2 tablespoons) boiling water
    1 recipe cooked rice


    Recipe



    Trim the fat from the beef and cut it into 1-inch pieces, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Slice each piece across the grain into 1/8-inch by 1 1/2-inch pieces.

    Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the curry powder, cornstarch (or tapioca starch), sugar, salt and rice cooking wine. Add the beef and stir to combine. When thoroughly mixed, stir in 2 teaspoons olive oil.

    To prepare the pineapple, cut off skin and remove the core. Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick chunks. Slice gently to minimize the loss of juice. Set aside.

    Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 5 teaspoons olive oil and tilt the pan to cover the surface with the oil. Add the beef and shake the pan gently to spread it around. When the beef is lightly browned, about 2 minutes, turn it over. Add the onion and tomato to the skillet. Stir in the boiling water. Add the pineapple (and accumulated juices). Stir for 30 seconds. Serve over rice. Serves 4 to 6.

    Option: Two fresh mangos may be used in place of the pineapple. Peel the mangos and slice the flesh into pieces 1-inch wide and 1/4-inch thick.
