Japanese Beef Curry
When I lived in Japan after college, I got hooked on Japanese curry.
It's everywhere, as ubiquituous as pizza is in the U.S. It's served on a daily basis in schools and factories.
After I moved back to the States and I lived in the Big City, it was easy to get Japanese curry in restaurants or the ingredients to make curry. But when I moved out of the city to the burbs, I was in new surroundings and didn't know what was around. Pregnant and craving-driven, I said to my husband,
"I MUST have Japanese curry."
We looked in the phone book and found a Japanese hibachi restaurant.
Yes, I said "phone book." No wisecracks.
I called hurriedly and said, "Do you have Japanese curry?"
No was the answer. I proceeded to call all the Japanese restaurants in town and got the same answer, until I called the last one, and they said Yes.
My hopes rose like a phoenix ablaze...
until they finished their sentence:
"Yes, we have curry, but it's only for the workers."
I cried.
Since then, I've found the local Japanese food store and can buy boxes of Japanese curry to my heart's content. The curry comes in blocks, almost like the blocks of baking chocolate.
I usually buy S&B brand Golden Curry, medium hot, because that's the one my Japanese neighbor told me to buy when she taught me to make curry. The other big brand is House Vermont Curry.
Since curry was introduced to Japan via the British, the curry is made like a gravy with a roux and is fairly mild. Almost any palate can enjoy this curry, and it's a great introduction to curry for those who say they won't like curry.
I warn you that it's addictive. With white rice and a sprinkling of Japanese red pepper, ichimi togarashi, you'll be a goner.
Japanese Beef Curry
1 lb. beef stew meat, dried and salted and peppered
Oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups water or beef broth
2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut in medium-sized pieces
2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut in medium-sized pieces
1/2 box of S&B Curry (mild, medium hot, or hot)
Ichimi togarashi, optional
Heat a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and brown meat on all sides, making sure that there is air space all around the meat and the pan is not crowded. Cook meat in batches if necessary and set aside.
Turn down heat to medium, add a little more oil, and brown onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add back meat to the pot and add water or beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (You can also do this in pressure cooker and cook the beef for 35 minutes).
When the beef is tender, add the potatoes and carrots and cook at a simmer until they're tender.
Take 1/2 of the curry in the box (there should be two containers in the box, so you would just use one of them) and cut it up in smaller pieces. Put it in a bowl and add some of the water from the pot and mix to dissolve the curry cubes. Add to the pot and mix carefully, so you don't break up the potatoes.
If the curry is too thick for your liking, just add more water until it's the right consistency.
Serve with white rice and ichimi togarashi.
