Unit price per4 low in stock
Beef Massaman curry is a Thai stew with Muslim roots, famous for its deep yet gentle flavor, less spicy than other curries, where the beef is slowly cooked in a rich sauce made with coconut milk, potato and peanuts. It is an ideal main dish, served with jasmine rice, perfect for those looking for a spiced curry that is not too hot, with sweet, salty and slightly tangy notes that work very well for family meals or relaxed dinners. Its texture is rich and velvety, with very tender pieces of beef, soft potatoes that soak up the sauce and peanuts that add body and a slight crunch, while the spices (cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin) and coconut milk create a warm, toasty and slightly sweet flavor profile.
Preparation and process
You start by gently frying the Massaman curry paste in a little oil, then add the coconut milk and beef and let it simmer slowly until the meat is very tender. The potato chunks and toasted peanuts are then added, along with onion, stock and spices, adjusting the balance between salty and sweet with fish sauce and sugar until you get a thick, aromatic and well-bound sauce.

Serving and reheating suggestions
It is best served piping hot, with jasmine rice to soak up the sauce and balance the intensity of the flavors. When reheating, always do so over low heat in a saucepan or skillet, adding a little water or coconut milk if the sauce has thickened too much, stirring until it regains a smooth, creamy texture.
Storage
Best consumed within 2–3 days, kept refrigerated in an airtight container, as curries often taste even better after resting a bit. For longer storage, it can be frozen in portions for up to 2–3 months and reheated slowly, stirring well so the sauce emulsifies again and the meat stays tender and juicy.
