Instructions
1 Spray the base of a large heavy-based saucepan with oil and set over a high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Re-spray saucepan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic, curry paste and lemongrass. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2 Return beef to saucepan and add stock. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1½-2 hours or until beef is very tender. (You can cook beef for up to 3 hours, if preferred.) Add pumpkin for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Add beans and broccoli for the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and stir coconut milk through curry.
3 Place rice in bowls, top with curry, sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve.

HFG tip
Freeze it!
- At the end of step 2, place curry in a plastic container and freeze (for up to 2 months). Place rice in a plastic bag and freeze (for up to 1 month). To thaw, transfer curry and rice to fridge overnight. Heat curry in saucepan until boiling hot and microwave rice.
- Freeze for up to one month.
Making the most of your freezer saves you time and money. Remember:
- Label and date food when you freeze it to know its life span.
- Keep food well wrapped to reduce freezer-burn risk.
- Discard items that display signs of freezer-burn, along with any UFOs (unidentified frozen objects!). They could be dangerous to your health.
- Freeze leftovers in single-serve portions to make them easier to thaw and reheat.
