While the beef is cooking, lightly toast the star anise in a dry pan over a low heat until fragrant (about 3 minutes). Pound into a fine powder.

Heat the remaining annatto oil in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add the remaining shallots and garlic, star anise powder, curry powder and chillies and sauté until fragrant. Set aside until ready to serve.

About 20 minutes before the beef is done, add carrots and cook until tender. Add spice mixture and mix in well.
