Slow-cooker beef curry

Try our slow-cooker beef curry, cooked on low for eight hours for rich and tender results. It comes flavoured with ginger and coconut milk, plus fresh spinach for colour

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
• thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 500 g stewing beef, diced
• 2 tbsp curry powder of your choice (we used medium)
• 400 ml tin coconut milk
• 350 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 200 g fresh spinach, chopped
• rice, to serve

Steps

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion until softened (5-6 mins), before stirring in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 min. Now add the beef and stir-fry until it is evenly browned. Sprinkle over the curry powder and cook for 1-2 mins before tipping the contents of the pan into the slow cooker.
2. Off the heat, add the coconut milk to the frying pan and stir to gather any juices or spices left behind before adding to the slow cooker along with the potatoes, plus half a tin of water. Stir to mix before covering and cooking on low for 8 hrs.
3. Stir the chopped spinach into the curry for the last 10 mins. Serve with rice.
