Method:

1. Start by marinating the beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef slices with egg yolk, corn flour, brown sugar, a pinch of sea salt flakes, and ground black pepper. Add a drizzle of vegetable oil and mix well. Set aside.
2. Prepare the spice mixture: In a separate bowl, combine chili powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander seeds, ground cumin seeds, and ground cardamom pods. Set aside.
3. Heat a sauté pan with some vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the sliced shallots and chopped garlic until fragrant, then briefly turn off the heat (to avoid burning the spices). Add the spice mixture to the pan and mix well. Turn the heat back on, pour in the coconut milk, and mix until well combined. Once it comes to a boil, add the grated ginger, tomato purée, and red bell pepper. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and let it simmer.
4. While the curry simmers, cook the brown rice: In a separate pot, combine the brown rice, water, and a pinch of sea salt flakes. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
5. In a frying pan, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the marinated beef until it turns golden brown. Transfer the fried beef into the curry sauce, cover with a lid, and continue simmering for about 10 minutes, stir in the baby spinach.
6. To serve, place a serving of boiled brown rice as the base, pour the beef curry over it, and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh coriander for garnish. Enjoy your delicious homemade beef curry with brown rice!
