Instant Pot Massaman Beef Curry Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, toss beef with garam masala and garlic powder. Spray 6-quart Instant Pot® insert with cooking spray. Select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Melt butter in insert. Add beef in 2 batches; cook 2 to 4 minutes on first side, or until browned. Turn and cook 2 to 4 minutes on second side, or until browned. Select CANCEL.
• Return all beef to insert. Stir in shallots and gingerroot; stir in potatoes. Stir in coconut milk, broth and soy sauce. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 45 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
• In small bowl, beat lime juice, cornstarch, brown sugar and fish sauce with whisk. Select SAUTE, and adjust to normal; heat liquid to simmering. Gently stir in cornstarch mixture; cook 30 to 60 seconds, stirring frequently, until thickened. Select CANCEL. Serve over rice with peanuts and cilantro.

Steps:

• Place the butter, flour, curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and knead until combined. Set the curry roux aside.
• Pat the beef dry and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the oil to the Instant Pot® and set to high saute (see Cook's Note). When the oil is hot, add the beef in two or three batches to avoid overcrowding and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir once and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the beef to a large plate using a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed.
• Add the onion and apple to the pot and cook, stirring often and scraping up the browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon, until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and honey and stir to coat. Add the broth and stir to combine. Add the browned beef and any juices accumulated on the plate, Worcestershire sauce, potatoes, carrots and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Scatter dime-size pieces of the curry roux evenly over the top.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high saute for 20 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Unlock and remove the lid, being careful of any remaining steam.
• Set the Instant Pot® to high saute and stir until the roux is melted and the curry looks smooth and creamy with no streaks of roux, about 1 minute. If the curry is too thick for your liking, stir in a 1/2 cup to 1 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with rice and fukujinzuke.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a pressure cooker. Season the beef and fry in batches for 5-8 mins, turning occasionally until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and fry the onion gently for 10 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, coriander and cardamom and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the beef and cook for 1 min to coat the beef in the spices.
• Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to a simmer. Lock the lid onto the cooker and bring up to high pressure. Cook for 15 mins, then turn off the heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Give everything a good stir and add more water if the sauce is already thick.
• Lock the lid back in place and give it another 10 mins, then let the pressure drop naturally. Check the meat is tender - depending on the cut it might need 5 mins more.
• Take it off the heat, stir through the garam masala and cream, if you like. Season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan bread or rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stir in curry paste and heat until bubbling. Add beef and coconut milk; cook and stir until beef is browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in potato, onion, fish sauce, lemon juice, chili peppers, lime leaves, and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, reduce heat, and simmer until beef is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle peanuts on top.
