Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the cubed beef on a cutting board and season it generously with salt.
  2. In a large pan or cast-iron skillet, warm the olive oil, add the seasoned beef, working in batches not to overcrowd the pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. You don’t need to cook the beef all the way through, simply sear it in the juices before adding it to the slow cooker. Note: If the slow cooker has a removable stovetop-safe pot, you can place it directly on the stovetop top, cook the beef directly in the removable pot, and then return it to the slow cooker base.
  3. Once the beef is seared, place it in the slow cooker, add the curry powder, salt, and red pepper flakes, and stir until the beef is well coated in the spices.
  4. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Then pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and coconut milk, and stir again to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours until the beef is tender and can easily be pulled apart with a fork. Once complete, give everything a good stir, then taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. The beef curry can be served immediately with rice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

To Use Curry Paste: Use 3 tablespoons of curry paste instead of curry powder.

To Use Onion Powder: Swap the onion for 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

To Use Garlic Powder: Swap the garlic for 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

To Use Ground Ginger: Swap the fresh ginger for 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
