Our Burmese spice blend is normally used as an unusual and subtle, slow-cooked chicken curry, but it also goes wonderfully with slow cooked beef. The meat adds much more flavour, so you’ll find you need more soy sauce and maybe a fresh chilli or two! Serves 4-6
Ingredients
700g beef, cut into cubes
4 tbsp sesame oil plus 1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 carton Burmese curry blend
300ml secret sauce
small fresh chillies, finely chopped (to taste)
3 tbsp soy sauce
100ml water
to serve, chopped coriander and 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds
Recipe
Blend the spices with 3 tbsp of the oil and use to coat the beef. Marinate for a few hours.
Heat the remaining oils in a large pan and fry the meat until brown. Add the chillies and fry briefly.
Add the secret sauce, soy sauce and water, bring to the boil and simmer for a couple of hours or until the meat is tender. Add a little more water if it looks dry.
Serve with rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped coriander.
