What Beef Is Best for Curry?

Great question! You want beef that’s not too tough, but don’t worry—most meats turn out tender when cooked in a pressure cooker like an Instant Pot. If you don’t have one yet, we highly recommend getting one!

Most grocery stores sell “stew meat,” which is usually chuck or round cut. These cuts can be tough, but they become tender when cooked for a long time or under pressure, making them perfect for soups and curries. This meat is typically chopped into 1-2 inch pieces, so you just need to season it and add it to your dish.

If you can’t find stew meat at your store, a large chuck roast works great too. It doesn’t have much external fat, so you won’t need to trim it. Plus, it has a lot of nice marbling, which adds flavor and tenderness to your curry.

Tips You Should Try!

1. Pick the Right Beef: Choose tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, tenderloin, or flat iron for your curry. These cuts make the beef super juicy and tender when cooked.
2. Let it Breathe: When you’re cooking the curry, don’t fully cover the pot with the lid. Leave a little gap so the steam can escape. This helps the sauce to thicken up nicely and makes the flavors extra rich and delicious.
3. Save for Later: Got leftovers? No worries! Pop them into a container with a tight lid and stash them in the fridge. Just make sure to gobble them up within 3 to 4 days to keep them tasting fresh and yummy.
