  • Total Time: 20 minutes prep + cook time
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

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

  1. Start by cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces and chopping the vegetables. Having all ingredients ready makes the cooking process smoother and quicker.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
