How to cook it

  1. Brown the cubed beef in the oil over medium-high heat in batches, then set it aside.

  2. Fry the massaman paste with the thick coconut cream from the top of one can until fragrant and oily, about 4 minutes.

  3. Return the beef, pour in the remaining coconut milk with a cup of water, add the cinnamon, and simmer gently, partly covered, for 1 hour.

  4. Add the potatoes, onion wedges, and peanuts and simmer until the beef and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

  5. Season with the fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind, balancing salty, sweet, and sour to taste.

  6. Serve over the jasmine rice.
