I was meant to make Beef Stroganoff last week, but didn’t quite feel like it, so decided to use the ingredients to make a slow cooker curry instead. This was my first attempt to cook a curry in the slow cooker. I pinched ideas from a number of recipes and was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Next time I would omit the chilli as the little kids said it was a little too spicy for them.
Beef Curry Slow Cooker Recipe
Ingredients:
- 500 grams diced blade (beef)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 3/4 cup coconut cream
- 400 grams baby potatoes halved
- 200gms Greek Style Natural Yoghurt
Spice Paste Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon coriander ground
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/2 teaspoon tumeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 small red chilli
To make Curry Paste:
- Add all ingredients in a bowl and process for about a minute with a blender.
Instructions:
- This step is optional. I have this thing against raw potatoes so, I cook them slightly first in the microwave, so they will be lovely and soft. Place halved potatoes into a microwave safe dish with lid and cook on high for approx 6 minutes or until they have soften slightly and set aside
- Toss the meat in flour. If the meat is in a plastic bag, I just add the flour to the bag and shake with some vigour.
- Heat oil in frying pan and brown the meat.
- Once browned, transfer meat to the slow cooker, add paste and all other ingredients. Stir gently until combined.
- Place lid on and cook on Auto/Low for 8-10 hours or High for 4-5 hours.
- About 30 minutes before serving, add yoghurt and stir through.
- Serve with rice
