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)

Steps:

  • 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.

Provided by Lucy Netherton

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2-3 tbsp groundnut oil
2kg beef short ribs (bone-in ribs left whole), or brisket, cut into large chunks
large bunch coriander
2 lemongrass stalks, 1 bashed, 1 roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves , chopped
1-2 green chillies , roughly chopped, deseeded if you like
2cm-piece galangal or ginger, peeled and chopped
50ml rice wine vinegar
50ml fish sauce
2 tbsp palm or light brown sugar
400g can coconut milk
2 star anise
6 lime leaves
juice 2 limes , plus wedges to serve

Steps:

  • Heat a little of the oil in a large pan and brown the beef in batches, removing to a plate after, reserving any juices. If your slow cooker has a browning function, use this instead. Meanwhile, in a mini chopper or food processor, whizz half the coriander, the chopped lemongrass, garlic, chillies and galangal with the rest of the oil until you have a rough paste.
  • Turn the slow cooker to High. Heat the paste for a few mins, then add the beef and all the remaining ingredients, apart from the remaining coriander and lime juice. Turn slow cooker to Low and cook for 8 hrs, or until the meat is falling off the bone.
  • If using beef ribs, remove bones from the beef, then shred the meat with 2 forks. If the sauce is too thin, strain it off and boil it to reduce. Stir in the remaining coriander and lime juice, then season with more fish sauce or sugar.

THAI COCONUT BEEF

My husband and I love Thai food, but going out on weeknights can be challenging with busy schedules. I wanted to create a Thai-inspired dinner that could double as an easy lunch the following day. The beef is fantastic in this dish, but chicken or pork would be equally delicious! -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Tips:

  • Select the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or short ribs are good choices for slow cooker Thai beef curry as they become tender and flavorful with long, slow cooking.
  • Trim the beef: Remove any excess fat from the beef before cooking to reduce the amount of grease in the curry.
  • Brown the beef: Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop its flavor and adds a richer color to the curry.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the curry, so it's important to use a good quality paste that is flavorful and authentic.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and bell peppers are commonly added to Thai beef curry. They add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use coconut milk: Coconut milk is a key ingredient in Thai curry. It adds a rich, creamy flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Simmer for at least 4 hours: Slow cooker Thai beef curry should be simmered for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours on low. This allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve with rice: Thai beef curry is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good choice as it has a light, fluffy texture that pairs well with the curry.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker Thai beef curry is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and authentic Thai curry that your family and friends will love.
