Indian Style Beef And Sweet Potatoes
serves 2-4
Recipe from cookthink
Yogurt and cilantro lighten up this sweet and rich dish, and the combination of beef and sweet potato are perfect together. Toss this on top of greens or grain for a one-bowl meal.
ingredients
1 pound beef (chuck or round roast), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons ground fennel
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
timer
prep: 20 minutes
total: 50 minutes
tools
large sauté pan with cover
instructions
1. Prep all the ingredients. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When it's hot and shimmering, add the onions and season with a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft, 4-6 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the ground fennel and cumin, and cook until the spices become fragrant, 2-4 minutes.
3. Add the beef, sweet potatoes and broth to the pan. Stir to combine everything, then cover and bring to a simmer. Turning down the heat if you need to, gently simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender and the beef is cooked through, 15-25 minutes.
4. When the beef and sweet potatoes are done, turn the heat off (but leave the pan on the burner) and stir in the yogurt until it heats through, 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

This was simple and delicious. The only change I made was that an additional teaspoon of oil was necessary when adding the fennel and cumin. Just wonderful and easy!
