1. Cut meat into 1/2 in strips, discarding fat. Cut orange peel in thin strips. Using a flameproof casserole or Dutch oven, saute onions in 2 T. of butter until glazed and limp. Add curry powder and cook 1 minute. Push onions to the sides of the pan. Add meat and brown on all sides. If necessary, add additional butter. Add salt, apricot halves and juice, tomato paste and orange strips.
2. Cover and bake in a 300°F oven 2 hours. Stir once or twice to mash the apricots. Serve over hot rice tossed with almonds.
3. Note: A vegetable peeler works nicely for peeling the orange in long strips, then cut strips into 1/8 inch pieces.
