Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 13.5-ounce can Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Fresh lime
Instructions
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef stew meat on all sides until brown. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot.
Using the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture to the crock pot.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, curry powder, ground cumin, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir to coat the beef with the spices.
Pour the coconut milk over the mixture in the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.
Before serving, stir in freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
Serve the creamy beef curry hot with steamed rice or naan. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
