Method

1. Heat half of the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Cook beef, in batches, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, over medium heat or until starting to soften.
3. Return beef to pan with paste, then stir until well coated. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, covered, for 1½ hours or until beef is tender.
4. Preheat oven grill to high. Spoon cooked curry into a 5.5L baking dish. Spread mash over curry and brush with remaining oil. Grill for 10 minutes or until mash is hot and edges are golden.
5. Serve scattered with shallots and coriander.
