1/4 cup Marion’s Kitchen Massaman paste
400ml (14 fl oz) coconut milk

Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Season the beef generously with salt.
-
Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish with a lid over high heat. Spread out the beef and cook, turning, for 10 minutes or until browned.
-
Add the curry paste and cook, stirring for a minute until lovely and fragrant. Add the coconut milk and beef stock, then stir to combine. Cover with a lid. Transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours or until the beef is very tender.
-
Transfer the beef to a large bowl and use forks to shred the meat. Drizzle over a few tablespoons of the pan juices and mix through.
-
Pile the beef in tacos with the cabbage, tomato, shallots, coriander and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges.
Taco Tuesday Just Got Better!
These tacos are next level! The richness of the massaman complements the fattiness of the beef beautifully. In my oven, it needed an extra 30 minutes to get to the right tenderness, but oh my, was it worth it! Serve with a nice kachumber or pico de gallo on your tacos to cut through the richness.
