Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Peel and roll-cut carrots into small even pieces. Peel potatoes and cut into quarters or pieces slightly larger than carrots. Soak potatoes in water to prevent oxidation. Peel and grate the apple, removing seeds.
- Prepare aromatics: Peel and finely grate or mince garlic and ginger. Slice onions thickly.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onions until caramelized and soft, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add grated garlic and ginger, sauté for 20-30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook beef: Add thinly sliced beef brisket to the pot. Sauté until beef is lightly browned.
- Add liquids and simmer: Add beef broth (or hot water with beef powder), soy sauce, ketchup, honey, and grated apple. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer.
- Add vegetables: Add prepared carrots and potatoes to the simmering pot. Cover and continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Add curry roux: Add Japanese curry blocks to the pot. Stir and cover to allow the blocks to melt and thicken the sauce. Adjust heat to medium. Stir occasionally until sauce thickens.
- Season and finish: Taste the curry sauce and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.
