Ingredients

400 grams beef (14-15 oz or approx 2 cups)
400 ml coconut milk (13.5 fl oz) see notes below
200 grams baby potatoes ( 7-8 oz) large chopped potatoes are okay too
150 ml beef stock ( 5 fl oz)
3 medium garlic cloves
2 tablespoons massaman curry paste I used homemade one in this recipe
1 medium red onion any onion would be good
1 small key lime
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 small bunch fresh herbs I used coriander and chives
1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
¼ teaspoon salt * see notes below

For Garnishing

1 medium scallion/ spring onion
1 handful mixed nuts toasted
1 meduim red Thai chili deveined

Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

Gather all the needed ingredients.
Place the meat in the slow-cooker pot and put on medium fire * ( see notes for more on this). Add some crushed black pepper if you'd like (optional).
Chop the onion, finely chop the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add all these to the meat that is sizzling on fire and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
Add ½ of the key lime juice. Cook for a good 5 min stirring occasionally.
Add the curry paste, and the coconut milk stir, and place in the slow-cooker device.
Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. I chose to cook it for 4 hours.
Have your rice cooked and ready, plate, garnish with some spring onions, mixed roasted nuts, red chilies, some fresh herbs, add another drizzle of lime or lemon juice, and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Salt - when adding salt mind these aspects :
- the massaman curry paste is salty ( especially if you are using ready bought)
- fish sauce is salty too
- the beef stock (if bought from the shop) will most likely contain salt
Coconut milk - use a lighter consistency and if you are using coconut cream add some water or more beef stock for the best results.
Slow-cooker
- With a stainless steel pot in my slow-cooker, I can directly place it on fire. But if yours doesn't allow this, simply toss all the ingredients inside and set the cooking time, ensuring it's a minimum of 4 hours.
- Alternatively, you can follow the above steps 1 through 4 using a skillet or frying pan, then transfer everything to your slow cooker pot at step 5.
