Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Curry Sauce

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish and Serving

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Garlic naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides to lock in flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Curry Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, beef broth, red curry paste, curry powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  3. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the seared beef in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared curry sauce over the beef. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the slow cooker and stir gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well developed.
  5. Serve: Spoon the slow-cooked beef curry over freshly cooked rice. Serve alongside warm garlic naan and garnish generously with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Searing the beef before slow cooking enhances flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter taste.
  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste based on your preferred spice level.
  • This dish pairs well with basmati or jasmine rice.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
