Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into chunks
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- Optional: chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Fresh lime juice, for serving
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Transfer the seared beef and sautéed aromatics into your slow cooker. Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine everything evenly.
- Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. For a thicker sauce, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Once cooked, stir the curry, adjust seasonings if needed, and serve over rice or quinoa. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime for added brightness.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, let the curry simmer uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce the sauce.
- Ensure the beef is seared properly to enhance flavor, but avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- You can substitute other proteins like chicken, lamb, or firm fish.
- This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
