The slow cooker graced my bench again this week cooking another deliciously easy dinner that the whole family enjoyed. Slow cooker mild beef curry is so easy to put together and the smell you are greeted to when you return home in the evening makes you instantly hungry and lucky for you – dinner is ready. Thank you Mr slow cooker and thanks to myself for taking an extra 10 minutes in the morning before I left for work to get it all started so it could cook all day.
I have used a premade curry paste in this recipe for the simple fact, I ain’t got no time for making curry paste. Nor do I have the eleven billion ingredients you need to make a curry paste. I pick my premade store bought items wisely and this is one I don’t have time to attempt at home.
Whack the ingredients into your slow cooker and you will be high fiveing yourself when you get home in the evening to the best dinner you will have all week (because you didn’t stand over the stove cooking it- oh and it tastes amazing too).
INGREDIENTS
1kg Beef Chuck Steak, cut into cubes
1 Onion, sliced finely
1 Tbs Minced Garlic
4 Potatoes, cubed
1 Carrots, diced
1 Celery stalk, sliced finely
1/2 Jar Pataks Mild Butter Chicken Curry Paste
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
200ml Light Coconut Milk
Yum I made this last night but with Korma paste by pataks. Really yummy. Thanks for the great recipes
I love this recipe, made it for our netball/footy/hocky club dinner night and it was a huge hit. about to make a batch now for dinner! cannot wait
So glad to hear.
Hi, I could only find Pataks butter chicken simmer sauce in a big jar, not a paste. So I bought the Pataks korma curry paste 290g instead ( which you use half of)., hopefully this will taste as good? Where do you buy your curry paste?
Hi Sue
It is at Woolworths (are you in Australia?) https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/Browse/pantry-international-health-food/indian-food?name=pataks-paste-curry-butter-chicken&productId=174742
The korma paste would work as well, just a slightly different flavour.
Can I freeze this?
Yes you can.
Can this be cooked on high if so for how long?
Yes, about 4 hours
I haven’t got a slow cooker, only a very large pan. Help! What will the cooking time? THANKS!
Hi Vicky
You can cook it on a low simmer on the stove for 2-3 hours.
