Description
Curried Ground Beef with Peas is a quick and flavorful dish that combines ground beef with aromatic spices and peas, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or naan (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes over the beef mixture. Stir well to coat the meat with the spices and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the curried ground beef over cooked rice or with naan, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with lentils or plant-based ground meat. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Add diced potatoes or carrots for extra vegetables and texture; just cook them with the onions until tender before adding the beef.
