The first time I tried Gyukatsu Curry was at Wagyu One restaurant in Melbourne, and it’s stayed on my mind ever since. A key tip for this dish lies in the meat; here, I use Australian Black Angus rump cap to ensure the beef stays tender and juicy after frying, with a delicious beef flavor.

Ingredients

  • Drump - 150g
  • Flour, breadcrumbs, egg for coating
  • Japanese curry powder - 50g
  • Flour - 150g
  • Unsalted butter - 200g
  • Chicken broth - 1L

Method

  1. Tenderize the beef until thin, then coat it in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Set aside.

  2. In a pot, melt unsalted butter, then add flour and curry powder. Stir constantly until the mixture has a biscuit-like aroma. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

  3. Fry the beef katsu at 170°C (340°F) until golden brown on both sides.

  4. Plate rice, pour the curry sauce over it, place the beef katsu on top, and garnish with spring onions, a touch of yellow mustard, and pink pickled ginger on the side.
