- 2-3 tablespoons tomato paste
Slow Cooker
- 1 medium onion chopped, sweet red or purple
- 2-3 large white potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1-2 large carrots cut into 1 inch chunks or baby carrots cut in half
- 2 celery ribs sliced
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 tblsp brown sugar packed
- 2-3 teaspoons curry powder mild or spicy
- ⅛ cup Worcestershire sauce
- ⅛ cup soy sauce
- 1-2 inches ginger root minced or grated
- 2-3 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced 3-4 cloves
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water beef broth or liquid from stew
Optional for Serving
- rice or egg noodles
- biscuits or naan bread
- Sour Cream or Greek yogurt
- chopped fresh cilantro or coriander
Instructions
- Heat skillet with oil, over medium to medium-high heat, until shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
- Add beef and stir until beef is browned on all sides. Add pepper, onion powder and tomato paste. Stir until blended. Add to slow cooker.
- Add onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, beef broth, ginger root, garlic, bay leaves, salt and vinegar.
- Stir until combined and coated.
- Cover and cook on low until beef is tender, 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours.
- In bowl whisk together flour, butter, and water, beef broth or stew liquid until smooth and creamy.
- Add into slow cooker and gently combine. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened.
- Discard bay leaves and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Serve on its own, or omit potatoes and serve over rice or egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt, if desired.
Notes
- Stovetop method: If you don’t want to use your slow cooker, you can make this curry in a pot over your stove top too. Just make sure you cook the curry until the beef is nice and tender, and all the veggies have cooked well too.
- Browning matters: Browning the beef is an important step in building that beautiful flavor. If you’re short of time and just want to keep it simple, you can skip it, but I would still highly recommend it.
- Thinning out the consistency: If the curry is too thick, add a bit of water or stock into the mix and letting it simmer for a few minutes over medium heat.
