Spicy Curried Beef Stew

Curry and slow cooker meals are among my favorites, and here’s yet another one to add to the list: spicy curried beef stew. It’s delicious, hearty, savory and full of curry flavor. The vegetables are perfectly tender and the beef stew meat practically melts in your mouth. It’s a winning combination!

Cheers and enjoy!

Spicy Curried Beef Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion, cut into large pieces
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (leave more seeds if you want it spicier)
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 lb grass-fed beef stew meat
• 2 carrots, chopped into 1/2″ pieces
• 1/2 large head green cabbage, chopped
• 2 Tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Dash of cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
• 1/4 cup chicken bone broth
• 1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk

Directions:

1. Melt coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno and garlic. Stir to coat everything in the fat and saute a few minutes, until onions are soft.
2. Once done, pour the onion mixture into the bottom of a slow cooker. Then, add the beef stew meat and chopped carrots on top.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the curry, smoked paprika, cayenne and sea salt. Add to the slow cooker and toss with the meat and veggies, until well coated.
4. Pour coconut milk and broth over top and stir. Place chopped cabbage on top of everything and then cover the slow cooker with the lid. Set on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
5. Halfway through, give everything a stir and then replace lid to finish cooking.

Yields: 3-4 servings
