Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

A super easy and home cooking friendly Chinese style beef curry recipe which can be down with in 2 steps, spending only half an hour.

Curry is not native to Chinese people. However curry enjoys a high popularity in Mainland China especially the Golden (Yellow) Curry Paste. Mostly we are using Indian curry paste not Thai version. This Chinese curry beef potato is one of the top 20 most popular dishes after the immigration. Even housewife like my mother loves curry paste and curry powder very much. Usually stewed curry is served with steamed rice in China.

My little daughter is a big fan of all kinds of curry dishes. As a mother, I am extremely grateful for the wonderful season too as it help me to make my little girl eat more staple food, especially rice. You can image how good the grains can be after mixing with the dreaming curry sauce with a “thickened beef stock”. Chinese beef curry | chinasichuanfood.com

Cook’s Note

  1. Cut all the ingredients into smaller pieces, including beef and and vegetables, has several advantages. Firstly it helps to shorten the cooking time. And secondly it maximizes contacting surface with the sauce and make the whole dish better in flavor.
  2. Frying the white sweet  onion previously until slightly browned can add a lovely sweetness to the dish. I believe you wont skip this after testing the browned white onion.
  3. I will recommend using a cast iron pot to make this Chinese beef curry because it makes the process quicker and energy saving.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg slow cook beef cuts, cut into 3 cm cubes
  • 1 carrot, cut into small cubes
  • 1 large potato, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 white onion, cut into small pieces

  • 100g golden beef curry
  • 100 ml coconut milk

      Hi Tai,
      I am using a India curry paste bought from one of my friend from India. But I guess India or Thai golden curry paste might be work too.

    Looks like one of your more fabulous recipes, we’re anxious to try it. But one question: The Recipe Note refers to dried chili peppers being added along with garlic. Can’t find garlic mentioned in the recipe. Thanks…
