Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Slow Cooker Indian Beef Curry:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors of the spices.
- Add the coconut milk, beef broth, and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over basmati rice.
One tip from my kitchen to yours: always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. A little extra salt or a squeeze of lime can make all the difference!
