Paleo Beef Massaman Curry
Paleo Beef Massaman Curry is a grain-free, gluten-free version of a classic curried dish. Whole30 & AIP options.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 ½ lb tender steak of choice, cut into 1 ½“ cubes
- 1 to 2 Tbsp grass-fed butter (for Whole30 / AIP, sub coconut oil)
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp Masaman curry paste (for Whole30 sub 1 to 2 Tbsp curry powder) (for AIP, sub 1 to 2 Tbsp AIP curry powder - see NOTES)
- 1 can additive-free coconut milk
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- sea salt and coconut aminos, to taste
- 1 lime, quartered
Instructions
-
Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until it takes on a fine rice-like texture.
-
Transfer cauli rice to a large microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, until cooked through but not mushy. Remove from the microwave, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
-
Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the steak.
-
Brown about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached, flipping the pieces over once. Transfer steak to a plate or bowl, then set aside.
-
Return pan to the heat, adding 1 Tbsp more butter if necessary. When hot, add onion to and sauté until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Add the curry paste or powder to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in coconut milk, then add the cooked steak and the spinach. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Stir in cilantro, then season with salt and aminos to taste. Serve the curry over the cauliflower rice with lime wedges on the side, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Keep it nightshade-free and seed-free with this AIP Curry Powder Recipe!
No microwave? If desired, you can cook the cauli rice on the stovetop in a separate skillet or pot rather than microwaving it.
Need more carbs? Add diced potatoes (not for AIP), sweet potatoes, carrots, or plantain to the pan when adding the onion. You can also add raisins to the pan when you add the coconut milk.
