- 3 large cloves Garlic(chopped)
- 1 tbsp Ginger(chopped fresh)
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper(seeded and chopped (optional, for less heat))

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Brown the beef cubes in a large frying pan with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Remove beef and set aside in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- 2
Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the same pan. Add chopped onions and cook over low heat until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and jalapeño (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until it caramelizes slightly. Add the chopped tomatoes, curry powder, paprika, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and form a thick sauce.
- 4
Scrape the tomato mixture into the pot with the beef. Add 3 cups of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer, then add the carrots. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- 5
Add the potatoes and plantain chunks to the pot. Add the remaining 1 cup of beef broth if needed. Season with salt. Cover and simmer for another 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
