Step 1Heat 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 2Heat 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 3Serve 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.
