Instructions
- 1Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then roast the peanuts on a baking tray for 5 mins until golden brown. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop. Reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- 2Heat 2 tbsp coconut cream in a large casserole dish with a lid. Add the curry paste and fry for 1 min, then stir in the beef and fry until well coated and sealed. Stir in the rest of the coconut with half a can of water, the potatoes, onion, lime leaves, cinnamon, tamarind, sugar, fish sauce and most of the peanuts. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 2 hrs in the oven until the beef is tender.

Chef tips
For deep flavor, fry the curry paste with the thick coconut cream until the oil separates, then sear the beef to lock in all those delicious juices. Serve over fluffy jasmine rice with a fresh lime wedge for balance. For a nut-free option, swap the peanuts for toasted coconut flakes to keep that wonderful crunch.
