Curried Beef with Potatoes

The novel The Sun Sister is filled with descriptions of the sweeping beauty of Kenya. I was excited to learn that my friend Michelle Clark had visited Kenya. When I asked her about the food, she said it really wasn’t memorable or that good. Fortunately, I came across a recipe for stewed beef made with curry. I made a few tweaks to the recipe, and I must say I was very pleased with the outcome. I might try it again as a beef stew, stopping after 40 minutes of simmering, instead of cooking all the broth from it the last 20 minutes. This recipe serves two but can be easily doubled. Enjoy!
