Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 large carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 cups cooked basmati rice (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the cubed beef in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to the crock pot as each batch is finished.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook for another minute. Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate the flavors.

Step 5

Transfer the contents of the skillet to the crock pot with the beef. Stir in the coconut milk, potatoes, carrots, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

Twenty minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the curried beef over cooked basmati rice, garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
