Description

This Viral Beef Broth Bowl is an easy, flavorful dinner made with savory ground beef, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil simmered in a creamy curry sauce. Made with chicken broth, curry paste, and heavy cream, the sauce is rich, savory, and packed with flavor. Serve it over rice for a cozy 30-minute meal that's perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Curry Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons curry paste, depending on how spicy you like it
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For Serving

  • Cooked white rice
  • Fresh chives, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it browns.
  2. Add the aromatics: Once the beef is browned, add the garlic and ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Season the beef: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another minute, then remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Start the curry sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the coconut oil to the same skillet.
  5. Add the curry paste: Stir the curry paste into the coconut oil and cook for about 30–60 seconds. This helps bloom the curry paste and brings out its flavor.
  6. Add the broth: Slowly pour in the chicken broth, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Make it creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Add the beef back: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir everything together. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes so the beef absorbs the curry sauce.
  9. Serve: Spoon the creamy beef curry over rice and garnish with fresh chives.

Notes

  • Brown the ground beef well for the best flavor.
  • Cooking the curry paste in coconut oil helps bring out its flavor.
  • Use more or less curry paste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with jasmine, basmati, or white rice.
  • Store leftover beef and sauce separately from the rice for the best texture.
