Course Main Course
Cuisine Asian
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into chunks
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for serving
Place the beef stew meat in the slow cooker. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Stir in the red curry paste until the meat is coated. Add the sliced mushrooms and red bell pepper.
Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the beef is tender.
Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on top.
For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat smoothly on the stove with a splash of broth. Skip the bell pepper if you prefer a simpler mushroom-forward version.
