Step 1

Preheat your slow cooker to high.

Step 2

Season the beef with the salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 ½ tbsp of the oil in a large pan over a high heat.

Step 4

Add the seasoned beef to the pan. Sear until lightly browned (about 6-8 minutes). You may need to do this in two batches.

Step 5

Once seared, add the beef to the slow cooker, using a slotted spoon.

Step 6

Add the remaining ½ tbsp of oil to the pan and turn the heat down to medium.

Step 7

Add in the onion and red pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the onions have softened.

Step 8

Add in the garlic, ginger, curry paste and crumbled stock cube. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Add in the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar and coconut milk.

Step 10

Stir, bring to the boil, then pour into your slow cooker, stir once more, place your slow cooker lid on and cook for 5-6 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low.

Step 11

If want to thicken the sauce a little, slowly pour in the cornstarch and water mixture whilst stirring - until the sauce is thick enough.

Step 12

Serve over rice, sprinkled with some coriander (cilantro). I like to serve mine with some tomato and onion salad too.
