Japanese Beef Curry

Rinse beef. Place in a pot and cover with water. Add salt, kombu, ginger, onion, and garlic. Let it come to a boil then lower heat to medium. Cover and cook for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes or until beef is tender. Remove the beef from the pot. Strain cooking liquid and set aside.

In a saucepan, sauté leeks and beef in oil for 2 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots; stir. Add curry blocks and dissolve; mix. Cook for 1 minute; add milk and cooking liquid. Season with soy sauce. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Garnish with green peas before serving.
