Instructions

1

Scoop the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk. Cook it in a heavy pot over medium heat until the oil separates. Add the massaman paste and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

2

Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides. Add the remaining coconut milk, cinnamon stick, cardamom, and star anise. Bring to a simmer.

3

Cover and simmer on low for 40 minutes. Add the potatoes and onion. Continue cooking for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the beef is falling apart.

Tip: Low and slow is the key. Don't rush this with high heat or the beef will be tough. The sauce should be barely bubbling.

4

Stir in fish sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, and peanuts. Remove the whole spices. Serve over jasmine rice.
