Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef stew meat and brown it on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste, curry powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to combine the spices.
Add the coconut milk and beef broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour the entire mixture into the slow cooker with the beef.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is tender and fully cooked.
Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

For a milder curry, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it entirely.
Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a lighter version, use light coconut milk instead of full-fat coconut milk.
This curry can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded together.
Serve with steamed jasmine rice, naan bread, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
