Ingredients

For the Curry

2 pounds beef chuck, brisket or shank cut into 2-inch chunks
3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup Massaman curry paste
1 can (13.5oz) coconut milk
1 cup beef stock or water + 1 cube beef bouillon
1 tablespoon fish sauce
3 tablespoons palm sugar or regular sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise

For Garnish & Serving

½ cup roasted peanuts chopped
fresh cilantro for garnish
sliced fresh red chili for garnish
jasmine rice for serving

Instructions

Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the beef chunks in a large Ziploc bag with the flour. Seal and shake to coat evenly. Arrange the floured beef over the potatoes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Massaman curry paste, coconut milk, beef stock (or water + bouillon cube), fish sauce, palm sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.
Drop in the cinnamon stick and star anise.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours, until the beef is tender.
Transfer the curry to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, garnish with cilantro and fresh red chili, and serve with steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy!
