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!

Coconut Beef (adapted from crockpot365.blogspot.com)

2 lb. beef stew meat
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 (15 oz.) can light coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 t. brown sugar
1 t. curry powder
1/2 t. coriander
1 t. cumin
1 t. crushed red pepper
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. basmati rice, cooked according to package directions for serving

Place all ingredients (except rice) in a 4 or 6 qt. slow cooker and stir well to combine.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the beef is very tender.  Serve over rice!
