60 Minute Paleo Hot Beef Curry

With the onset of cooler Autumn weather in Southern Hemisphere regions, a nice curry always goes down well. This healthy-eating stovetop recipe can be on the table in 1 hour, so give it a try.

60 Minute Paleo Hot Beef Curry (serves 4)

Ingredients	Directions
This is a very flavoursome and quick hot curry, perfect for cooler weather. The ingredient list looks long but most of them are on hand if you follow a Paleo diet. Of course there is no reason you could not use Lamb or Kangaroo, but if your choice is Roo, use fillets.	Fry onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon coconut oil until fragrant. Separately brown the meat in 1 tablespoon coconut oil Into the onion and garlic pot, on high setting, toss in the rest of the ingredients except the red wine and coconut cream. Braise and stir for 5 mins and then add wine and coconut cream. Add the meat. Stir well and turn to low setting with lid on. Cook on low simmer for 40 mins stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and rest for 20 mins with the lid on before serving so that flavours can further infuse. Serve (in bowls) as is or on a bed of mashed Cauliflower. Garnish with fresh celery tops or parsley.

If you eat this type of beef, you have been conned and it could kill you!

I can't understand the fuss about Wagyu beef, but can understand the marketing behind it. Wagyu cattle are artificially fattened on grains, so their meat is high in all the wrong kinds of fat, ie. overloaded with Omega 6s which are responsible for so many health issues for humans. Of course it's all marketing, but the smart people who care about what they eat and also the taste of their beef will always choose grass fed beef. Sadly, mass production started moving beef production to high volume using grain feeds many years ago. Now they are glorifying the malpractice to justify and promote their inferior product! Because grass is the natural food of cows, grass fed beef is high in the good Omega 3 fats and so is actually good for you, and it won't put you into a casket. Most locally sourced Australian beef is grass fed, so just make sure what you buy is not also spoiled with other chemicals used in the production, ie. growth hormones and anti-biotics.

The pic shown is Wagyu, and is NOT how your beef should look!
