Place the beef stew meat, potatoes, onion, garlic, and ginger into the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the curry powder over the ingredients, then pour in the coconut milk and beef broth.
Add the salt and black pepper, then stir everything until the curry powder is evenly distributed.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours until the beef is very tender.
Stir the stew once more before serving, then top each bowl with chopped cilantro.
