Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef stew meat, sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger in the slow cooker.
  • Add the coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir everything together until the curry paste is mostly dissolved.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
  • Stir in the sliced bell peppers, then continue cooking for 1 more hour until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice.
  • Spoon the curry over cooked rice and top with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Add the bell peppers only in the final hour so they stay bright and keep some bite instead of turning soft. If the sauce seems thin at the end, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to let it thicken slightly. Leftovers reheat well the next day and taste even better once the flavors have settled.
