Ingredients
For the Curry
- 2 pounds beef chuck, brisket or shank cut into 2-inch chunks
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Massaman curry paste
- 1 can (13.5oz) coconut milk

- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
For Garnish & Serving
- ½ cup roasted peanuts chopped
- fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Beef: Place the beef chunks in a large Ziploc bag with the flour. Seal and shake to coat evenly. Arrange the floured beef over the potatoes.
- Mix the Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the Massaman curry paste, coconut milk, beef stock (or water + bouillon cube), fish sauce, palm sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.
- Add the Whole Spices: Drop in the cinnamon stick and star anise.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Garnish & Serve: Transfer the curry to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, garnish with cilantro and fresh red chili, and serve with steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Best Cuts for This Recipe: Chuck, brisket, or shank work best since they become tender after slow cooking.
- Substitutions: Swap beef for chicken or lamb for a different take on this curry.
- Make-Ahead Tip: The curry tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
