Slow Cooker Beef Massaman Curry
Description
This recipe starts by coating diced beef with plain flour to help thicken the curry sauce during slow cooking. The beef, potatoes, and shallots are placed in the slow cooker and combined with a curry sauce made from beef stock, coconut cream, Massaman paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. The curry uses Massaman paste, which delivers a mildly spiced, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor profile typical of this Thai dish.
Cooking the curry for 8 hours on low allows the beef to become very tender and infuses the potatoes with the sauce's rich flavors. The accompanying rice absorbs the curry sauce well, while chopped cashews add crunch and cilantro contributes fresh herbal notes.
For consistency, cut potatoes and beef to similar sizes and place potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure even cooking. Optionally, sprinkle red chili flakes for extra heat. Sweet potato can replace regular potatoes for a softer texture, and cooked lentils can be added to stretch the dish without sacrificing protein content.
