Preparation

What You Need

2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (30 ml) curry powder
2 lbs (1 Kg) boneless stewing beef, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
8 potatoes, cut into chunks (about 2 lbs/1 kg)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, shredded
2 tbsp (30 ml) minced gingerroot or
1 tsp (5 ml) ground gingerroot
5 1/2 oz (156 ml) 1 can tomato paste
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) reduced-sodium beef broth or
stock
8 oz (250 g) green beans, chopped (thawed if frozen)
1 cup (250 ml) 10% half-and-half cream
Salt
1/2 cup (125 ml) plain yogurt
Chopped fresh coriander (optional)
Coarsely chopped almonds or
peanuts (optional)

Instructions

In a 5- to 6-1/2-quart (5 to 6.5 L) slow cooker, combine flour and curry powder; add beef and toss to coat. Stir in potatoes, garlic, carrots and ginger. Whisk tomato paste into beef broth and pour over beef mixture.

Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours or until beef is fork-tender.

Stir in green beans and cream, cover and cook on High for 15 minutes or until beans are tender-crisp. Season to taste with salt. Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt and sprinkle with coriander and almonds (if using).


Tips

To prepare the night before, you plan to cook it, assemble all ingredients in the slow cooker stoneware as directed in step 1 except the potatoes. In the morning, cut the potatoes and stir into beef mixture. Cook as directed.

For the Adventurous: Add 1 or 2 minced hot green chile peppers with the green beans for a hotter version and sprinkle each serving with a pinch of garam masala.

    I find using the condensed milks in the tin, either skim or 2% are super for providing a the thickness measure of half and half etc.
    Use it in most of my baking too. Great stuff!

    Substitute 1 cup skim milk for the half and half cream to cut down on the fat content.
