Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sirloin or tenderloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, cut into thin slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, red-pepper flakes, turmeric, salt, and water. Add the paste to the onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the meat to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Raise the heat to moderately high and cook to your taste, stirring, about 2 minutes longer for medium rare. Stir in the cilantro.
Makes 4 Servings. 1 carb per serving.

A long-simmering curry becomes a quick one when you substitute a tender cut of beef (sirloin, fillet...) and stir-fry it till medium-rare.
