SLOW COOKER THAI BEEF CURRY



Slow Cooker Thai Beef Curry image

The challenge: The flavors are always too bland. Our solution: It's true that the long, slow cooking period mellows flavors. But bold spices, in bold amounts, will hold their own over time. Here, we start with big flavor from a good amount of curry paste and fish sauce, and we finish with fresh touches of cilantro and lime juice that amplify the taste of everything. Serve over a bed of brown rice or brown rice noodles to catch all the sauce.

Time 8h45m

Yield Serves 8 (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 pounds beef stew meat
1/2 cup unsalted beef stock
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 (10-oz.) yellow onion, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup well-shaken canned full-fat coconut milk
8 ounces haricots verts (French green beans), halved crosswise
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
9 ounces fresh spinach (about 9 cups)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Cilantro sprigs (optional)
