Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: red chili flakes for heat
Instructions
- Start by cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces and chopping the vegetables. Having all ingredients ready makes the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- For extra flavor, brown the beef chunks in a skillet over medium-high heat until they develop a nice crust. This step adds depth to your curry but can be skipped for a quicker prep.
- Place the beef, onions, garlic, ginger, carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes, spices, and coconut milk into the slow cooker. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- 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 combined.
- Check and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot over rice or cauliflower rice for a complete, healthy slow cooker soup experience.
Notes
- Optional searing adds extra flavor but can be skipped for quicker preparation.
- You can customize the spice level by adjusting curry powder and chili flakes.
- Use fresh herbs and spices for vibrant taste.
- Allow the curry to rest for a few minutes after cooking to enhance flavor infusion.
