This is a great recipe for a simple, aromatic beef curry that the time it takes to make it only improves the flavor.

While it is possible these days to buy ready-made curry pastes, there is something especially pleasing about making your own.

Black pot with orangy-yellow sauce with chunks of meat, slivers of red peppers, parsley, and sliced lemon.

This beef curry is not difficult to make, but takes time…time that will be well spent.
