Equipment
- Skillet
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 lbs beef stew meat or chuck but into bite-sized cubes
- 15 ounce can coconut milk
- 4-5 tablespoons Massaman curry paste store bought or homemade
- 1 cup beef stock
- 3 cups firm waxy potatoes cut into 2-inch cubes (I like using halved baby potatoes)
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar or palm sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
To serve
- ½ cup unsalted roasted peanuts roughly chopped
- Lime wedges
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Add the oil to a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the beef and cook for about 3 minutes per side until browned. Cook in batches if necessary so not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
- Add half of the coconut milk to the frying pan (no need to clean it out first) and heat it to bubbling slightly. Stir in the massaman curry paste and let it bubble for a minute. Add it to the slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker, add the remaining coconut milk, beef stock, potatoes, onion, stock, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and cinnamon.
- Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.
Tip: if your potatoes are floury, the sauce might thicken too much. Check and add a little water if necessary.
- Serve with rice, topped with peanuts, lime wedges and chopped cilantro.
