Tender beef in a rich, zingy Thai curry sauce, delicious served with jasmine rice and Asian greens.
This slow cooker recipe has maximum flavour with minimum effort! You'll need to fry the beef in batches at the start, over a high heat, before adding to the slow cooker.
Thai jasmine rice and greens (bok choi or mange tout), to serve
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Pat beef dry with kitchen paper. Season beef and fry in batches over a high heat to brown all over, about 5min. Put beef plus any juices in the pan of a slow cooker.
Step 2
Add curry paste, fish sauce and brown sugar to the slow cooker. Stir well, then add the coconut milk, star anise and kaffir lime leaves. Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-8hr until beef is tender. If the sauce is too thin at this point, strain it and reduce it by boiling in a saucepan before stirring back into the beef.
Step 3
Add lime juice to taste and most of the coriander. Serve with Thai jasmine rice and greens, and sprinkle the remaining coriander over each portion.
