Tender beef slow cooked in a creamy coconut curry sauce with warm spices and vegetables.
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into chunks
1 can coconut milk
1 cup beef broth
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 carrot sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
Fresh cilantro optional
Brown beef chunks in oil in a skillet.
Transfer beef to the slow cooker.
Add onion, garlic, and ginger.
Mix coconut milk, broth, curry paste, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Pour mixture over the beef.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
Add bell pepper and carrots during the final 45 minutes.
Stir gently and finish cooking until beef becomes tender.
Stir in lime juice before serving.
Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.
Full-fat coconut milk produces the richest sauce. Adding vegetables near the end keeps their texture pleasant.
