Ingredients

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.6kg beef chuck steak, cut into 3-4cm cubes
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 400g potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 300g pumpkin, peeled and chopped
  • 2 brown onions, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 300g green beans, trimmed
  • Fresh coriander, to garnish

Method

  • Step 1
    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frypan. Brown steak in batches, seasoning well with salt and pepper, then transfer to the bowl of a slow cooker. Add carrots, potatoes and pumpkin to the slow cooker.
  • Step 2
    Heat remaining oil in the frypan and cook onions and garlic over low heat for 3-4 minutes until garlic is starting to soften. Add spices and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in coconut milk and beef stock. Bring to the boil, then pour over meat and vegetables in slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours until meat is very tender. Add beans and cook for a further 30 minutes on high with the lid off to allow the sauce to thicken.
  • Step 3
    Serve with steamed rice and fresh coriander.
Recipe Notes

Make sure to cut the vegetables into a large dice - too small and they will disintegrate in the sauce. 

You can use any cheaper cut of beef or steak - blade, oyster blade and gravy beef all work well.

If you prefer your curry spicy, add 1/2 tsp chilli powder to the spice mix.
