Ingredients Meat & Poultry Beef Healthy Beef Main Dish Recipes Slow-Cooker Beef Curry 4.8 (5) 4 Reviews Long, slow cooking periods mellow flavors while bold spices, in bold amounts, will hold their own over time. Thats just what happens here with big flavors from Thai curry paste and fish sauce finished with fresh touches of cilantro and lime juice that together, draw inspiration from Thai curry. Serve over a bed of brown rice or brown rice noodles to catch all the sauce.
