Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 3.2 oz Japanese curry mix (1/2 box, like Golden Curry or Vermont Curry)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
- 2
Add the ground beef to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- 3
Toss in the carrots and potatoes. Stir them around with the beef for a minute so they pick up all that good flavor from the pan.
- 4
Pour in the water and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes or until the veggies are fork-tender.
- 5
Break the curry blocks into smaller pieces and stir them into the pot. Keep stirring until completely dissolved. Let the curry simmer for 3–5 more minutes until thickened.
- 6
Give it a taste. Add a little more salt or pepper if needed. The curry should be rich, savory, and thick enough to coat a spoon.
