Stir-Fried Beef Curry

"Easy and delicious. Curry is not traditionally a Chinese spice, but it adds a hint of exotic, subtle flavor to this dish. This can be a filling dinner for 2 on it's own or can be served as part of a multi-course Chinese-style dinner. It matches well with vegetables, especially string beans or broccoli."

  1. I didn't want to review this as I see I made a big mistake! A little embarrassing but I used rice wine vinegar instead of rice wine or sherry. No wonder I thought the vinegar was too strong. I will definately make again with the right ingredients. Thanks,
     
  2. My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. Next time, I will marinade the beef longer. Thanks!
     
  3. This was an excellent dish. I only changed a few things. I used chicken instead of beef only b/c I did not have any beef on hand. Then, b/c I did not have time to marinate the chicken, I poured the marinade over the chicken and baked it in the oven. I pulled the chicken apart into peices, and then followed the rest of the directions to a T. I also only used a little bit of corn oil instead of the 3 tbsp of peanut oil, and I also subbed corn oil for sesame oil, both times b/c I didn't have the type of oil the recipe called for. I also did not have any rice wine, so I used red wine, and I used McCormick curry powder. I also did not have dark soy sauce, so I used light. All in all, even with those few changes I think I stayed true to the recipe, and it was WONDERFUL. My husband went back for 2nds, which means it was a hit b/c he can be picky. I will definately get some beef next time I go grocery shopping, to try this recipe again the way it is printed. Thanks for posting such a great recipe.
     
  4. This had awesome flavor, even when reheated. Next time I make it I'll throw in some veggies as another reviewer did to make it healthier and I'll cut back on some of the oil. I made about 3 servings for us when prepared with two cups of rice.
     
  5. What a fantastic blend of Indian and Asian ingredients! This tasted just wonderful and has gone straight into our 'make again' file! I used 250gm rump steak for the two of us but still used the full amount of curry sauce as we like plenty on our rice! I also threw in a few bunches of baby bok choy and stir fried for a couple of minutes after frying the onions; I didn't need to let the sauce simmer as it was a perfect consistancy for us immediately. Thanks so much for posting your lovely recipe!
