It’s pretty hard to beat the comfort and satisfaction that you get from eating a bowl of beef curry, especially when the beef is deeply crisped and tender, the rice is fluffy and hot, and the sauce is well-spiced. Well — we have good news — this recipe is exactly that. You can never go wrong with a heaping scoop of white rice or warm naan, but it’s even great with cauliflower rice if you’re on a low-carb kick. A bowl of this is true comfort food! Have you made this yet? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!
