Fragrant Beef Curry

This is what I made for dinner tonight. The house smells sooo good

2 pounds well trimmed boneless beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch pieces (tri tip was on sale so I used that
3 tablespoons olive oil

2 large onions, sliced
6 whole cloves
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 cinnamon sticks
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 1/2 cups whole milk - I used 2%
3 large tomatoes, quartered
3 tablespoons Major Grey chutnet
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon sale

Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Working in batches, add beef to pot and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon transfer to plate.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same pot over medium high heat. Add onions, saute until tender and brown, about 7 minutes. Return beef to pot. Add cloves, garlic, cinnamon sticks, bay leaf and dried red pepper to pot, stir 1 minute. Stir in milk, tomatoes, chutney, lemon juice, ginger, curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until beef is tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
Uncover, increase heat to medium. Boil stew until juices are slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
