- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional, for heat

- 2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and cayenne (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spices are toasted and fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the browned beef, potatoes, and carrots. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 60-90 minutes, or until the beef is very tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the Chinese Beef Curry over steamed rice, garnished with chopped cilantro.
