Slow Cooker Thai Curried Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Drain excess grease. Transfer beef to a 4-quart slow cooker and sprinkle with salt.
• Combine onion and garlic in the same skillet over medium-high heat; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add to beef in the slow cooker.
• Stir coconut milk, beef broth, red curry paste, lime juice, peanut oil, jalapeno chile peppers, and brown sugar into the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on Low until flavors combine, 6 to 10 hours.
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stir spinach into the slow cooker and cook until wilted, about 15 minutes. Serve beef mixture over rice and garnish with basil leaves.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour oil carefully into the hot skillet. Add beef in 2 batches and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Place browned beef into the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Pour beef broth into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Transfer broth mixture to the slow cooker and add curry paste, onion, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
• Add green beans and coconut milk to the slow cooker. Increase temperature to High and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in spinach, cilantro, and lime juice.

Steps:

• Toss the beef and potatoes with the curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 tablespoon ginger, the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker. Crumble 1/2 slice of naan into small pieces over the beef and potatoes, then pour in the tomatoes. Cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Uncover and skim off any fat from the top of the mixture. Stir well to combine, then let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, pickled jalapenos and brine, 1/4 cup water and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin and 1 tablespoon ginger in a food processor. Pulse until combined; season with salt and pepper.
• Stir 3 tablespoons of the cilantro puree into the slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2 cups beef curry for Beef and Vegetable Handpies. Serve the remaining curry with the naan; top with the remaining cilantro puree.

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.
