Japanese Ground Beef Curry

This Japanese Ground Beef Curry is a high protein take on the classic Japanese curry. Using ground beef is more convenient, more macro friendly, and still gives you that thick savory curry that's perfect next to a fresh bowl of rice.

Ingredients

Ground Beef Curry

  • 16 oz ground beef 90/10
  • 5 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger finely minced
  • ½ large onion finely diced
  • 1 medium potato peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup carrots diced or pre-prepped
  • 2 Japanese curry blocks I used S&B
  • 1½ cups water
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate

Optional Garnish

  • Rice for serving
  • Scallions
  • Furikake

Instructions

  • Finely mince your garlic and ginger. Dice your onion and cube your potatoes. Set everything aside.
  • Add oil to a pan over medium heat and add the garlic, ginger, and onions. Cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Add in the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until about 80% cooked through.
  • Stir in the potatoes and carrots and cook for about a minute to coat everything in the aromatics.
  • Add the curry blocks and water, stirring briefly to help the blocks dissolve. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, stir well, and finish by adding the dark chocolate. Mix until fully melted and incorporated.
  • Serve the curry next to or over fresh rice and optionally garnish with scallions and furikake.
