Ingredients
 

  • 500g diced beef
  • 1 diced carrot
  • 1 died onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 270ml can coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons beef stock powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder (see note)

To Finish

  • 300ml of cream with 2Tbsp of cornflour whisked into it

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients (except final cream and cornflour) into slow cooker.
  • Slow cook on low for 6 hours then add the cream and cornflour mix.
  • Let cook for another hour and served on rice! ??? ??

Notes

  • Curry can be adjusted to taste. I started out with 1 tablespoon of curry and gradually added more until the desired level of heat ? The cream at the end definitely toned it down a tad and just gave it that awesome creaminess.

    Hi. Looks delicious. Which curry powder do you use and is it just cooking cream?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 3, 2021

      I always suggest cooking cream is used myself (although this isn’t my recipe)

    Saved me! Had planned on doing chicken, spinach and pesto penne, but half the ingredients didnโ€™t turn up from my grocery delivery so had diced meat and spinach, thankfully all the ingredients were cupboard staples!

    My coconut cream said on the can not to put that in either until the last 5 minutes (regular cooking) – will put it in at same time as spinach and cream ??

  4. This was super yum and easy to make. I served it with garlic roti bread and rice and it was so good!! It served 4 people with enough leftovers for another meal. Absolutely will make it again

    I had 1 kg of beef and added a 400ml can of coconut cream instead of 270 ml and this recipe was absolutely delicious.

  6. Thanks Sarah for sharing this amazing recipe!!

    Small alterations I made:
    I used a full large can of coconut cream as it’s what I had on hand (I added 2tsp of cornflour to it first) to prevent splitting
    I added my spinach (baby spinach) in the last hour rather than at the start
    I went with 1.5 tablespoons of keens curry powder
    I used cooking cream at the end so while it didn’t need further cornflour to prevent splitting when it’s cooking cream – I did whisk 1T into before adding just to thicken up the lovely rich sauce

    We served over rice and it was amazing – amazing!
    Thanks Saz!

    had it cooking on low, which made the house smell amazing when we got back from mustering all day in rainy weather. It had the most amazing flavour! I used the only curry powder to buy “Keens” curry powder and used 3 tbsp, which become warmer the next day, also used a full can of coconut cream, put 300ml thicken cream, large bag of baby spinach and sweet potato in an hour before serving.

    Really enjoyed this ! Added 1.5 tablespoon ginger and some diced sweet potato – added spinach in for the last hour. Family loved it very tasty and will definitely make again

    I doubled this recipe and thoroughly enjoyed it! I used 3 large desert spoons of curry – in a double mix this turned out mild which we liked. I added the spinach about an hour before serving as well as 1 x 300 gm container of thickened cream with cornflour mixed in.
    There was lots of sauce which I like – as we served this with rice.
    Also served with steamed veggies – brussel sprouts, carrots and beans.

    A definite winner in our house. Will be making again and again. Bonus when the kids love it too! So quick and easy!

    Thoroughly enjoyed, so did my hubby and his sister! I accidentally added too much coconut cream at the start but just combated by adding less regular cream at the end. Delicious flavour and super simple! Can’t wait to make this again.

    Our favourite, I use chicken in place of beef.
    Absolutely delicious ๐Ÿฅฐ

    Wow Amazing dish. We absolutely loved this meal. I used chuck steak which melted in your mouth. I did use the large tin of coconut milk which I thickened with cornflour as I had 850g of steak. I did add the spinach & cream an hour before serving. Will definitely be on the menu rotation. So easy. Hubby said he wants it again. Thank you. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‹

    Itโ€™s not even finished cooking & looks & tastes sensational. I used 250g frozen spinach which I put in half way through the cooking time. I used approx 2 .5 tablespoons of curry powder. This is going to be a regular in my household. Thanks Sarah for the recipe๐Ÿ˜‹

    So delicious! And so easy to make!
    Made a few changes – used 1kg meat, added a little water from rinsing the tomato tin, used peeled tomatoes tin (due to an accidental purchase), added 6 small carrots, and no spinach due to my kids not eating it. Served it with brown rice and steamed veggies. Will be making this again.
