Slow-cooked Coconut Beef Madras Recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 400g slow-cook beef in bite sized cubes
• 1 large potato cut to your preferred potato cube size (large is good)
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup madras paste (I used Pataks but am going to make my own next time, promise!)
• 1 beef stock cube (or 1 cup liquid) beef stock
• 160ml coconut milk

Method

On high heat, fry beef until brown and then add half of the madras paste and stir for a further minute. Place into the slow-cooker on low heat.

Fry onion, garlic and ginger in the pan until soft and lightly browned and then add the remainder of the madras paste and stir for one minute. Add the stock cube and 1 cup of water (or liquid stock instead) and then the coconut milk, stirring until bubbling.

Add the onion mixture to the slow-cooker with the beef and cook for 6 hours, stirring (and tasting) occasionally.

Serve with rice and pappadums or naan bread.
