Ingredients
2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, beef broth, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the beef curry hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
