Easy Slow Cooker Beef Massaman Curry
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast (or short ribs) (Any where between 2-4 lbs work for this amount of seasoning and liquid)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt (optional -to taste)
- black pepper (optional -to taste)
- 1 yellow onion
- 6 tbsp Massaman curry paste
- 5 tbsp coconut palm sugar (or brown or regular sugar)
- 4 tbsp tamarind concentrate
- 6 tbsp fish sauce
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 1,200 mL coconut milk (3 cans -If you have 1 big box or 1,000 mL, add another 200 mL water.)
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes (If using russet potatoes, you must peel and chop into big bite size.)
- 3 bay leaves (optional)
- 4-5 cardamom pods (optional)
- 1 tbsp fried shallots (optional for garnishing)
Instructions
- Cut the chuck roast into evenly sized squares. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a pan, heat vegetable oil and sear the beef on high heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Cook the beef in batches if necessary. Don’t worry if the meat is still raw inside; we’re just aiming for browning. Set the beef aside.
- Cut the onion into quarters and sauté it in the same pan. This step is optional, as you can also add the chopped onion directly to the crock pot later. However, cooking it in the pan after the meat can make cleaning the pan easier.
- In the crock pot, add the seared beef, onion, Massaman curry paste, sugar, roasted peanuts, tamarind concentrate, and fish sauce.
- Add the coconut milk and potatoes. If the potatoes are large, chop them in half first. If you’re using Russet potatoes, be sure to peel and chop them before adding.
- For extra garnish and aroma, you may add cardamom pods and bay leaves. Once added, do not stir the pot.
- Cook the curry in a slow cooker on high heat for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
- Approximately 10 minutes before serving, remove as much foam or scum from the surface as possible. Then, stir all ingredients together and continue simmering until ready to serve.
- Serve with rice, naan, or dinner rolls. Enjoy!
