This meal turned out way better than I thought it would. The flavor was not spicy, but had a good red curry flavor. I was worried it'd be too spicy considering the amount of red curry paste that went into it.
The green beans added a nice crunch to the dish.
Overall, I'd give this dish a solid 4 stars.
Slow Cooker Thai Beef Curry
Recipe from Eating Well
Serves 8
- 1 T canola oil
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- ½ c unsalted beef stock
- ¼ c Thai red curry paste
- 2 T fish sauce
- 1 T light brown sugar
- 1 (10-oz.) yellow onion, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
- ¾ c well-shaken canned full-fat coconut milk
- 8 ounces haricots verts (French green beans), halved crosswise
- ½ c loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 9 ounces fresh spinach (about 9 cups)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Cilantro sprigs (optional)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add beef, and cook in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
Place browned beef in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add stock to skillet, stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet; transfer mixture to slow cooker.
Add curry paste, fish sauce, sugar, and onion; stir to loosely combine.
Cover, and cook on low until beef is very tender, about 8 hours.
Add coconut milk and haricots verts to slow cooker.
Increase heat to high; cook until haricots verts are tender, about 12 minutes.
Turn off heat; add cilantro leaves, spinach, and lime juice. Stir gently until spinach starts to wilt. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
