Cut beef sirloin into 2cm cubes and season with salt, pepper, and curry powder.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches, 3 minutes per side.
Add diced onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add diced sweet potato, coconut milk, and an extra tablespoon of curry powder. Stir well.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes until beef and sweet potato are tender.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt and serve over brown rice or on its own.
If the meal's iron is plant-based (non-heme), pair with the vitamin C in the recipe to boost absorption 2-3×. Avoid coffee or tea within 1h.
B12 absorption requires stomach acid + intrinsic factor; taking with a meal stimulates both. Plant-heavy meals also under-supply B12, making supplementation more impactful.
Curcumin's bioavailability is poor alone. Pair with the meal's fats AND piperine (black pepper) for up to 20× better absorption.
