1.

Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add curry paste and cumin and cook for a further minute until fragrant. Add satay sauce, coconut milk, beef, cinnamon, kaffir lime, fish sauce and 1 cup (250ml) water. Stir well to combine, then bring to the boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 40 minutes.

Remove the lid, add the sweet potato and simmer, uncovered, for a further 10 minutes or until the sweet potato and meat are tender and the sauce has thickened.
