I should have been more patient with this one, as I added extra curry (almost doubled) early on and used cayenne pepper as suggested by other reviewers. Should have considered the fact that the taste would emerge later on... Super simple recipe, a quick fix for a week meal. I will likely do it again, and add some coco milk in towards the end and use pork or lamb.

The flavor of the meat was good think I messed up a little bit on the recipe because it was not as saucy as the picture. Will make again, but my son was not excited about this recipe but he is a real picky eater. Overall met the qualifications of our family's rating system to make again!

I made this even after some of the negative feedback and loved it. I did tweek it a little. Following some of the previous suggestions. I browned the beef with the carrots, garlic and onions all together. I seasoned it with curry and cyenne. I then added 1/2 cup of water. I had no tomato paste so I used ketchup. Added the raisins in the end. No apple. It was great cooked it for about 45 mins and covered a little in the end too.

This was excellent, but I did make a few minor changes. I used 1/2 can tomato sauce instead of the tomato paste. I had to simmer the dish for almost 2 hours to get the beef tender. As the dish would dry out, I kept adding water. I also used 2 1/2 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp turmeric and some carrots. Excellent! I will make this again.

Thought this was an excellent recipe especially for an fairly easy curry at home dish. Had it with brown rice. It was even tastier the next day.

Was pleasantly surprised by this recipe! Didn't expect my kids to like curry, but they did! We didn't have pineapple, so I left it out. Will make this again! (great in a time crunch)

Spicy curry, sweet raisins, tart apples, tender beef, and fragrant basmati rice...what a great taste! On my initial try of this recipe I used stew beef and found that I needed to simmer longer than stated. This time I used thinly sliced flat iron steak and it was ready within the 35 minutes simmer time. Also substituted ketchup for the tomato paste and hot Indian curry paste for the powder.

Pretty good and relatively easy. I didn't want to open a whole can of paste for the small amount called for, so I substituted ketchup. Seemed a little risky, but it worked well enough. I also added a dash or two of red pepper, and it was a bit too spicy for my 2 year old. It was nice for something different, but I won't be adding it to my recipe box.

I have to say that the order of adding ingredients should be followed in this one. (If you are going to change anything, maybe saute the aromatics in the spices for a bit before adding the liquid.) Frying spices in a little bit of fat before adding other ingredients is a common Indian cooking technique important to releasing the full flavor of the spices (and disgusting your neighbors with that pungent Indian restaurant smell - it only smells good if you get to eat the food later!) While this is not the most authentic Indian recipe (after all, it IS curried BEEF), it doesn't deserve to get bad reviews from folks who didn't follow the recipe.

After reading the other reviews, I added the onion with the seasonings as the meat finished browning, changed the water to about 2/3 cup, and added 1/3 cup coconut milk (I had it in the fridge from the last curry I made) - along with a small carrot. I thought the finished product had a good combination of spicy-sweet that gave it appeal. While it probably won't become a weekly staple at our house, it'll make another appearance when I have beef onhand and that curry craving come again!

I changed some things in this recipe to spice it up. Sauted onion and garlic with the beef, used cayenne pepper instead of black, added 1/8 of tsp of stevia to bring out the curry more...and then added some chopped carrots for added nutrition...needed more water than called for but the result was awesome....and my hubby is a curry expert. Whole family loved it, even the kids.

One of the problems with this recipe is the order of the ingredients. After browning the meat I stirred in the onions (also added a clove of minced garlic) and cooked with the meat for about 5 minutes. Then I added the tomato paste mixture. I also had to increased the water to about 3/4 cup. Also added more curry powder. Since I had to make so many changes, I won't be making this again.

OMG, this was awful. It was bland, the meat does not get tender, there is not enough liquid. It was terrible.

I am a curry-lover, and this was far too bland for me - the curry taste was barely there. The apple helped out the flavour some, but other than that, there just wasn't much to the taste! Also, I found there was not enough liquid. It was definitely edible, but I will not make this again.
