Warm coconut cream in a heavy pot over medium heat 2–3 minutes until it separates and releases oil, then stir in massaman curry paste and cook 2 minutes until fragrant and darkened.

Sear
Add beef chunks to the pot and stir over medium-high heat 4–5 minutes until the outside is lightly browned and no longer pink.

Pour in coconut milk and chicken stock, add cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and star anise; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, cover, and cook 70 minutes until beef is fork-tender.
5
Simmer
Add potato and onion to the pot, cover, and continue simmering over medium-low heat 15–20 minutes until potato is soft when pierced.
