(4)

A tender cut of beef like sirloin or rib-eye won't get tough as it simmers away in the stew. Serve with rice noodles, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sirloin or boneless rib-eye steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided

  • 1 medium red onion, chopped

  • 3 cups cremini mushrooms, halved

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 2 cups unsalted beef broth

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 4 cups packed chopped kale

  • Chopped fresh cilantro & lime wedges for serving

Directions

  1. Toss beef with cumin, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion and mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sweet potato, garlic and curry powder; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add broth and scrape up any browned bits. Stir in the beef and any accumulated juices, coconut milk and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, partially cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are almost tender, about 7 minutes.

  3. Stir in kale and cook until the beef and vegetables are tender, 5 to 8 minutes more. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
