Note 1 - Beef Braising Steak

'Braising Steak' is the name supermarkets and butchers use for a few different cuts of beef that need slow cooking. These includechuck, skirt, leg and flank. It's also sometimes labelled as Stewing Steak. Any of these cuts that need to be cooked slowly are fine for this recipe.

Note 2 - Curry Paste

Any curry paste you like to your taste will work here. I like Patak's Jalfrezi or Madras.

Note 3 - Onions, garlic and ginger

I use pre prepared frozen, chopped here. An onion weighs about 150g so I replace the onions with 300g (2.5 cups) of pre chopped. Garlic is about 5g per clove so I use 20g (4 teaspoons). 1inch of Ginger equals about 5g (1 tablespoon).

Note 4 - Spinach

If using fresh spinach, I just stir in and the heat of the curry will wilt it. If you want to use frozen, defrost it first in a pan or microwave and then drain it and add it to the curry. A lot of water comes out of cooking spinach. You can also cook and drain the fresh spinach if you're very particular about your curry not being watery at all.
