Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast or stewing beef, cut into 1.5” chunks

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 2 tbsp curry powder (or garam masala)

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 1 large potato or 2 carrots, chopped (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  • (Optional) Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.

  • In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until soft.

  • Stir in tomato paste and spices. Cook 1–2 minutes to toast.

  • Deglaze with broth and transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

  • Add coconut milk and optional vegetables. Stir to combine.

  • Cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until beef is tender.

  • Adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro, and serve hot.

Notes

Searing the beef is optional but adds rich flavor. For thicker curry, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes or use a cornstarch slurry. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
