Slow cooker beef korma is a simple Indian curry with tender beef in a rich creamy curry sauce. It's easy to make, requiring minimal effort and is freezer friendly and perfect for meal prep.
Brown Meat in separate pan: In a large non stick pan set to high, brown 1 kg gravy beef/chuck steak (fat trimmed and cut into 2cm cubes) for 2 to 3 minutes. Once browned, remove from pan and set aside. Decrease temperature to medium and add 1 medium brown onion (diced), 2 teaspoons crushed garlic/garlic paste, and 1 teaspoon minced ginger stir through for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
Add Curry Paste: Add ½ cup Indian korma paste and 2 tablespoons Indian tikka paste to the same pan with the onion, garlic and ginger and stir in for 1 minute. Add 440 grams canned of Crushed tomatoes, stirring for another minute until hot and mixed through.
Add Everything into the Slow Cooker: Add the meat to the slow cooker, along with the sauce, stirring to combine. Pour in 1 cup full fat coconut milk and stir through. Add 1 cinnamon stick, 1 cup Green beans (sliced into 4cm sticks) and 2 cups sweet potato (peeled and chopped 2cmx2cm), and ½ teaspoon salt stirring to combine.
Cook: Set slow cooker to cook on Low for 8 hours.
Notes
To avoid using extra pans, you can brown the meat in the pot of your slow cooker on the saute setting, cooking it in batches. Once it's browned, remove the meat from the slow cooker and do step 2 using the slow cooker.
