I’m pleased to bring you another great recipe that you will definitely enjoy any time of the year. This Thai favorite is tender, delicious and will leave you wanting seconds. All you need are a few specialty ingredients that you might not have in your house. Luckily, I was able to get everything at our local grocery store that has an Asian food aisle.
This Beef Masaman with Potato Thai Curry is one of my mom’s best recipes. We definitely request it every time she is over. Now that we can share the recipe with you, I hope that you go make it yourself and see what we’re talking about!
I mentioned before that you could use beef or chicken. We like to buy a chuck roast, and cut it into chunks, or use stew meat. It is inexpensive and super flavorful. If you wanted to use chicken- use legs, thighs, or really any chicken parts.

The key to making this dish successful is ensuring that the meat is tender before you move on to the next steps. Nothing is worse that having chewy meat or meat that is fully marinated but doesn’t melt in your mouth.
