I can’t deny the fact that slow cooking is the best way to bring out maximum flavor from meat. Come cooler evenings, slow cooking is on fire in my household. If you love a comforting meal at the end of a long day, this recipe is just for you. And it helps you to make the ultimate flavorful curry for your next dinner. 

Slow cooker Indian beef curry. Distinguished from regular curry in terms of taste and flavor, think of slow cooked curry as more rich and flavorsome than time consuming stovetop version. Of course, it’s loaded with spices and other aromatics, but comes with a “set and forget” feature. Load your slow cooker in the morning and get ready to dig into delicious saucy curry in the evening. Here’s my rundown on the ingredients and method to make the best curry.

Slow Cooker Indian Beef Curry Recipe

Stir frying – Even though you can add the meat straight into the slow cooker, I highly recommend browning over high heat. This will ensure maximum flavor. Again, get the best cut for the curry, like chuck steak. You’ll also need to sauté onions alongside some ginger, garlic, spices, and broth (stock).

Slow cook – All you need to do is add all the ingredients to your slow cooker including browned meat, sautéed spices and coriander (cilantro) leaves.
