Main Ingredients- 150g fresh garlic scapes
- 300g ground beef or thinly sliced beef
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 4 cubes of firm curry roux (approx. 100g)
- 600ml water
Beef Seasoning- 1/2 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pour 600ml of water into a pot and bring it to a boil for the curry. While the water is heating up, proceed with preparing the other ingredients.
Step 2
In a bowl, place the 300g of beef (ground or sliced as preferred).
Step 3
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt evenly over the beef for seasoning.
Step 4
Add a pinch of black pepper to help remove any gamey odors. Let the seasoned beef sit for a moment.
Step 5
Wash the garlic scapes under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Also, peel and wash the onion thoroughly.
Step 6
Finely chop the washed garlic scapes and onion. You can cut the garlic scapes into about 1cm pieces, and slice or finely dice the onion.
Step 7
Add the 4 cubes of firm curry roux to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved and smooth. It’s important to mix well to create a creamy curry sauce.
Step 8
Now, let’s start stir-frying. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of butter to melt and add richness.
Step 9
Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion and stir-fry over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent. Cook slowly to allow the onion’s natural sweetness to develop.
Step 10
When the onion turns translucent, add the seasoned beef. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry until the beef is fully cooked. Cooking quickly over high heat helps to retain the beef’s juices.
Step 11
Once the beef is cooked, add the chopped garlic scapes. Stir-fry briefly over high heat, just enough to lightly cook them. The key is to maintain the garlic scapes’ crisp texture.
Step 12
Finally, pour the prepared curry sauce over the stir-fried ingredients and beef. Continue to cook over high heat for about 1-2 minutes, stirring until everything is well combined. This creates your delicious curry sauce for the rice bowl! Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 13
Prepare a bowl with warm cooked rice, placing it neatly at the bottom.
Step 14
Generously ladle the freshly made, appetizing garlic scape and beef curry over the rice. The combination of warm rice and rich curry is simply divine.
Step 15
Finally, arrange the stir-fried garlic scapes and beef mixture on top of the curry for a beautifully presented ‘Garlic Scape and Beef Curry Rice Bowl’.
Step 16
The delightful crunchy texture of the garlic scapes, combined with the savory, juicy beef that carries a hint of smoky flavor, makes this dish incredibly delicious. It’s a meal that will have you clearing your plate in no time!
Step 17
I used to worry that my children wouldn’t eat garlic scapes when served as a simple stir-fry, but they absolutely loved this curry version! It’s a great way to encourage them to eat their vegetables.
Step 18
Enjoy your delicious meal today and have a wonderful day! ^^
