Coconut Beef

Today it's another slow cooker adventure for your eating pleasure!  Now, if you're not sure you're a fan of curry but have always wanted to try it, this is the recipe to try.  The curry flavor is very mild (see, it's not even in the recipe NAME!) and the coconut milk gives this an exotic flavor without being overpowering!  Serve over basmati rice and you will be happy, happy!
