  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes - 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (900g) beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, sliced chilies for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the cubed beef until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer the seared beef to your slow cooker. Add diced onions, minced garlic, curry powder, ground ginger, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and flavorful.
  5. Check occasionally to ensure enough liquid; stir once halfway through cooking if needed.
  6. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, lime wedges, or sliced chilies, and enjoy with cauliflower rice or your preferred side.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by adding more chilies or curry powder according to taste.
  • Using fresh garlic and ginger enhances flavor.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or add a teaspoon of coconut flour.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
