Steps

1. 1Simmer the thick part of a can of coconut milk in a pot over medium heat, without stirring too much, until the oil begins to separate and rise to the surface.
2. 2Add massaman curry paste to the separated coconut cream and fry it for a few minutes, stirring, until deeply fragrant.
3. 3Add chunks of beef to the pot and stir to coat them thoroughly in the fried paste.
4. 4Pour in the remaining coconut milk along with cinnamon and cardamom pods, then bring the pot to a gentle simmer.
5. 5Cover and cook low and slow for around an hour, until the beef begins to turn tender.
6. 6Add potato chunks, onion wedges, and roasted peanuts, then continue simmering for another thirty minutes, until the potatoes are soft and the beef is falling-apart tender.
7. 7Season the curry with tamarind paste, palm sugar, and fish sauce, balancing it between sweet, sour, and salty.
8. 8Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice.
