1
Sauté the onion and garlic, then add the sliced beef and stir-fry together.
2
Season with soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to combine.
3
Cook the shimeji mushrooms and onion until golden brown to develop a deep, rich aroma.
4
Carefully pour the brandy into the pan to add aroma — pour slowly from a safe distance to avoid flare-ups; whisky can be substituted if brandy isn't available.
5
Add the curry powder, sugar, tomato puree, and chicken stock, and simmer into a rich curry sauce, letting the alcohol evaporate while the aroma remains.
6
Separately cook the jasmine rice with chicken stock and butter to make fragrant, buttery rice.
7
Ladle the beef curry over the rice, garnish with parsley, and serve.
