Spring Curry Beef Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• beef stew meat → 2 pounds, cut into 1½-inch chunks
• mild curry simmer sauce → 1 pieces (16–18 oz bottle)
• low-sodium beef broth → 1 cups
• baby carrots → 1.5 cups
• baby gold potatoes → 1 pounds, halved or quartered if big

Steps

1. Add the beef: Put the 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1½-inch chunks into the bottom of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. Spread the pieces out so they’re not all stacked up in one big pile.
2. Add the veggies: Drop the 1.5 cups baby carrots and 1 pounds baby gold potatoes, halved or quartered if big right on top of and around the beef. They don’t have to be perfect — just tuck them in wherever they fit.
3. Pour in the broth: Pour the 1 cups low-sodium beef broth over everything in the pot. Try to get it spread out so it doesn’t all land in one spot.
4. Add the curry sauce: Give the bottle of 1 pieces mild curry simmer sauce (16–18 oz bottle) a good shake before you open it. Then pour it all over the beef and veggies. Don’t rinse the bottle out with water — but if you want to get every last drop, use a spatula to scrape the inside. This sauce is where all the yummy flavor comes from!
5. Give it a little stir: Use a spoon to gently stir once or twice so the sauce gets spread around a bit. Then put the lid on tight.
6. Let it cook: Set the slow cooker to LOW for 7 to 420 minutes

   , or HIGH for 3½ to 4 hours. The beef should be super soft when it’s done, and a fork should poke through the potatoes easily.
7. Check and thicken: Give the sauce a little taste. If it needs more taste, put in a little bit of salt. If the sauce looks too thin for you, take the lid off and let it cook on HIGH for about 15 to 20 more minutes to thicken up.
8. Serve it hot: Spoon the beef, veggies, and lots of that curry sauce over a bowl of rice or next to some warm flatbread. Make sure everyone gets plenty of sauce — that’s the best part!
