Ingredients

5 cardamom pods, cracked open
2 tsp ground cumin
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
3 tbsp Co-op sunflower oil
700g Co-op British diced stewing steak
2 onions, sliced into thin wedges
5 garlic cloves, crushed
5cm ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp Co-op smooth peanut butter

400ml can Co-op coconut milk
200ml hot beef stock, made with ½ stock cube
1 large red chilli, halved lengthways, plus slices to serve

Method

Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and lightly crush, then tip into a pan with the cumin, cinnamon stick and star anise
Toast over a medium heat for 2 mins, then set aside
Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large pan or casserole dish over a high heat
Add the diced steak in batches and fry for around 5 mins, until browned all over
Set aside on a plate
Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onion on a medium heat for 6-8 mins, or until softening
Stir in the garlic and ginger, fry for 2 mins, then add the toasted spices and peanut butter
Raise the heat and fry for another minute
Return the beef to the pan, along with the potatoes, coconut milk, stock and halved chilli
Cover and cook over a very low heat for 2 hours, or until the meat is falling apart
Season to taste. Scatter the extra sliced chilli over the curry and serve with the lime wedges on the side for squeezing over
