- 4 pcs tomato
- 2 pcs tblsp paprika
- 0.5 g black pepper
- 2 g curry powder

Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or soup pot, heat 4 cups of water until it reaches a boil.
- Introduce the beef, garlic, and ginger into the boiling water, mixing thoroughly.
- Lower the heat to achieve a gentle simmer.
- Place a lid on the pot and allow it to cook for 20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Skim off any foam that appears on the surface, or mix it back in.
- Take the pot off the heat and strain the contents, saving the leftover water.
- Put the pot back on medium heat and incorporate 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the onions and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender.
- Mix the tomatoes in with the onions and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.
- Combine the drained beef with the tomato and onion mixture, stirring to blend.
- Keep cooking over medium heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate paprika, pepper, curry powder, tomato paste, and salt to taste, stirring well to combine.
- Add the saved water back into the pot along with enough additional water to fully cover the mixture.
- Bring the entire mixture back to a boil.
- Lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- If the beef curry starts to dry out or if you'd prefer a soupier texture, add more water as needed.
- Once the beef curry is finished, remove it from the heat and taste.
- Make any necessary adjustments to the seasonings.
- Top with fresh chilis and cilantro for garnish.
