Ingredients
– 1 kilogram trimmed gravy beef or chuck steak, cut into 2.5 cm cubes serves as the main protein
– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil used for searing the beef
– 1 large brown onion, chopped adds depth to the base flavor
– Half a cup of korma curry paste provides the signature spice blend
– 500 grams potatoes, cut into 2 cm cubes contributes starch and texture
– Half a cauliflower (around 300 grams), cut into small florets brings in extra veggies and nutrients
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced adds color and sweetness
– 2 cans (400 grams each) of diced tomatoes creates a rich sauce base
– 1 cup of reduced salt vegetable stock enhances flavor without excess sodium
– 1 cup of water helps with cooking and consistency
– 1.5 cups of frozen peas added near the end for freshness
– 7.5 cups of cooked brown rice (from 3.75 cups uncooked rice) served alongside for a complete meal
Instructions
1-First, brown half the beef in 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan for a few minutes until it’s sealed; set it aside and repeat with the remaining beef and oil. This step helps lock in juices and enhance taste. Next, add all the ingredients except the peas to the slow cooker, including the seared beef, then cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.
2-After that initial time, switch to low heat for 7.5 hours, stirring halfway through to mix flavors evenly. In the last 10 to 20 minutes, stir in the frozen peas to cook them through without over-softening. For the best results, the total cooking time is about 8 hours, with active prep involving chopping vegetables and searing beef.
3-Once done, serve with about ¾ cup of cooked brown rice per person for a balanced plate. To enhance flavor, try serving with natural yogurt and chopped coriander, or sauté the onion with the korma paste before adding to the slow cooker for extra depth.
