Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef stew meat
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 13.5-ounce can Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 whole Fresh lime

Directions

Step 1

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef stew meat on all sides until brown. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes, curry powder, ground cumin, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir to coat the beef with the spices.

Step 5

Pour the coconut milk over the mixture in the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.

Step 7

Before serving, stir in freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.

Step 8

Serve the creamy beef curry hot with steamed rice or naan. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
