A delicious keto-friendly Beef Tikka Masala featuring tender beef stew meat simmered in a fragrant tikka masala spice blend and rich coconut milk, perfect for a low-carb dinner served over cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tikka masala spice blend
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full-fat)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cauliflower rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Spices: Stir in the tikka masala spice blend and cook for another minute until fragrant, ensuring the spices release their aroma.
  4. Simmer the Beef: Return the browned beef to the skillet and pour in the full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 1 to 1.5 hours until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Season and Garnish: Season the curry with salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, over prepared cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly meal.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier sauce that complements the keto diet.
  • Marinating the beef in yogurt and some spices beforehand can enhance flavor and tenderness, though it is optional.
  • For extra spice, add chili powder or fresh chilies along with the tikka masala blend.
  • Ensure to brown the beef properly to lock in flavor before simmering.
  • Cauliflower rice is a perfect low-carb substitute for traditional rice to keep this dish keto-friendly.
