Ingredients

• 6 oz Beef chuck
• 1 tbsp Massaman paste
• 3/4 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup Potatoes
• 2 tbsp Peanuts
• 1 tsp Fish sauce

Steps

1. Cut the beef into chunks and pat dry. Scoop the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk into a Dutch oven over medium heat and fry the massaman paste in it for 2-3 minutes, until deeply fragrant and brick-colored.
2. Add the beef and stir to coat, then pour in the remaining coconut milk plus 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Cover and braise 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is nearly fork-tender.
4. Add the potatoes and simmer uncovered 12-15 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to a spoon-coating gravy.
5. Stir in the fish sauce, then taste. Add a touch more fish sauce or salt until the flavor sings.
6. Serve in warm bowls, scattered with the chopped peanuts.
