Beef Brisket Curry (咖哩牛腩)

Yum

I’m sorry that I have been neglecting my blog a little bit. Truth be told, I have been up to my neck with work and a secret project that I have been working on! I can’t wait to share it with you, but I have to keep it on the hush hush for now.

When I mentioned work, it is on top of recipe development for clients. I was also given some opportunities to do some food styling and food photography, which is really cool! A large portion of my time also goes into developing a new venture with my partners at COOKIT SG (show some love and like the page!). In short, it is a homecooking solution whereby you can order your ready to cook kits from COOKIT SG.

We will provide you with a recipe card developed for ease of cooking. Source and pre-portion the ingredients for you, so it eliminates the need for measuring. And deliver it right to your door step! All you need to do is to prep as per recipe card, and cook. A brand new Christmas Cookit menu complete with dessert is set to launch very soon. So do look out for it.

Let’s get back to this dish. Not sure why I took so long to get down to making this ultra yummy Cantonese dish! Something that you’ll find at Hong Kong cafes or restaurant. I made this to serve 4, but I could have sworn that the husband had 3 servings that night. He liked it so much that he wanted me to make it again the following week, which I gleefully obliged. Mainly because I get to enjoy it too! LOL!

Notes

You can use more curry paste or add curry powder if you want the spices to be heavier. Different brand of curry paste will have different level of spiciness. I used yellow curry paste that I bought from Thailand. You can fine Dancing Chef in SG, or use Madras Curry paste that can be found at ntuc finest or cold storage.
Chu hou paste can be found at major supermarkets in SG. It is usually placed together with hoisin sauce.

      Hi Jaz, yes. Beef shin is a good cut for stewing so well but cooking time may differ. 🙂

    Hihi
    Would it be possible to make this kids friendly? From what I know store bought curry paste is still spicy.. Can we just substitute the paste with powder instead?

    Thank you for your reply in advance!

      Hi Kat! Yes, definitely fine to use a non-spicy blend of curry powder to replace curry paste. It works the same. Just adjust the curry powder to taste.
