Start with the steak. Heat a large frying pan (skillet) over a high heat. Coat the steak in the oil and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Add the steak to the hot pan. Fry for 1 minute each side, then remove from the pan and place, covered, on a plate.
1 tbsp oil, 400 g (14oz) minute, thin rib-eye or sirloin steak, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Reduce the heat to medium (you’ll be making the sauce in the same pan). Add the oil, then the onion, red pepper, tomatoes, chilli, garlic, ginger, curry powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Fry together, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
Add the canned tomatoes and coconut cream. Stir again and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
1 x 400g (14oz) can finely chopped tomatoes, 240 g (1 cup) coconut cream
Meanwhile, cut the steak into thin slices.
Add the sliced steak back into the pan (along with any resting juices) and stir together. Simmer for a further 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and serve, topped with fresh coriander. I like to serve this with boiled rice and poppadoms.
