INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large ovenproof pot, heat 1 tablespoon of
the oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until beginning to
color, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric and
red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute longer; transfer
the mixture to a plate. Increase the heat to high and add another 1-1/2
teaspoons oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add a quarter of the beef
and cook until it is well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer
to the plate. Brown the remaining beef in three more batches, adding
another 1-1/2 teaspoons oil each time. When the last batch of beef is
browned, return the onion mixture and the rest of the browned beef to the
pot. Stir in coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, 1/2
teaspoon salt and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and
put in the oven for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender
(check and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer). To serve
immediately: Prepare brown rice according to package directions. Remove the
stew from the oven and stir in carrots. Return the stew to a simmer on the
stovetop, then cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Before
serving, remove the bay leaves and stir in chopped parsley. Serve over the
rice, garnished with chopped peanuts, if desired. To refrigerate for up to
three days before serving: Let the stew cool partially, then cover tightly
and refrigerate. When ready to serve the stew, reheat in a saucepan over
low heat for 20 to 30 minutes or in the microwave. Proceed as above. To
freeze for up to three months before serving: Cool the stew completely,
then transfer to an airtight container and freeze. Thaw overnight in the
refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat the stew and proceed as above.
