Skinny Slow Cooker – Beef Curry
My family loves anything with curry and this slow cooker recipe is at the top of the list. No prep work required, toss everything in the slow cooker and dinner is ready in 7 to 8 hours. Now, that’s what I call a meal.

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean stew meat, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Kosher or sea salt to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 1 3/4 cups beef broth or stock, low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water, optional
Directions
Place stew meat in slow cooker, sprinkle with curry powder, add all other ingredients and stir to combine. Cover, cook on low 7 to 8 hours. Beef Curry is delicious served over a bed of brown rice, quinoa or couscous. Recommend 4- 6 quart slow cooker. For a thicker curry, combine cornstarch and water, add to slow cooker the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
NOTE: If preferred, saute onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute one additional minute. Add to slow cooker along with other ingredients.

Can I make this with chicken breasts and chicken broth as well?
Kim, Definitely!
Can I use round stead or top sirlion for stew meat in this recipe?
Cindy, Either should work fine!
I have all of these ingredients on-hand…except cornstarch. How will it affect the recipe if I leave that out, or can I substitute with something else?
Pam, It just makes a thicker sauce/gravy. You could dredge the beef in a little flour and brown a touch, then add to the slow cooker. This will do the same thing because of the flour.
I made this tonight and it was awesome. I did not use the cornstarch.
Davey, Thanks for the feedback!
The family ate every bite! Awesome!!
This was really good and SUPER simple!!!
Thank you!
I just put it in the slow cooker. Super simple! Can't wait to taste this! What do you think about putting some carrots in with the beef?
It says the serving size is one cup, but how many servings does it make?
Michelle, About six servings.
