Tweaks to the traditional make your meals more amazing – like the dark choc in this roux. Wow!

Ingredients

80g butter

50g dark chocolate, chopped

60g plain flour

2 Tbsp hot curry powder

1½ Tbsp garam masala

1 heaped Tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp sea-salt flakes, plus extra to season

½ tsp white pepper

40ml extra virgin olive oil

3 carrots, peeled, cut into small chunks

1½ brown onions, medium dice

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 small daikon radish, sliced into discs

800g scotch fillet steak, diced into 4cm pieces

5cm piece ginger, peeled, finely diced

1.5L chicken stock

1 apple, peeled, grated

2 Tbsp mirin

2 green shallots, sliced finely on an angle, to garnish

Cooked short grain rice, to serve

Method

  1. Put butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When butter has melted, add flour, curry powder, garam masala, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring until you have a thick, brown paste. Set aside.

  2. Put oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrots, onion and garlic, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add daikon and cook for 5 minutes. Mix in beef and ginger, season with salt and cook for 5 minutes. Add curry paste roux and stir to coat beef. Add stock and apple and bring to a simmer. Stir in mirin and cook gently for 1 hour.

  3. Adjust seasoning if necessary, garnish with green shallots and serve with rice.

Cook's tips

  • Leftover roux will keep well for a couple of weeks in the fridge.
  • You can swap the daikon for potato.
  • For an optional garnish, rehydrate a handful of arame seaweed in water, dry well and shallow-fry until crisp.
