Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 cups Carrots, sliced
• 1 cup Bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large Onion, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the beef chuck roast. Trim off any excess fat and cut the beef into large chunks (about 2 inches thick).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Place the sliced carrots, bell peppers, and chopped onion at the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot.

Step 4

Add the beef chunks on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour the coconut milk mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables, ensuring everything is well-coated.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 7 hours or on high heat for 4 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible.

Step 7

Once the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork, taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, soy sauce, or red chili flakes if desired.

Step 8

Serve the Crock Pot Thai Beef over a bed of cooked jasmine rice.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
