Slow-Cooked Beef and Kumara Massaman Curry
The meal was full of flavor and fragrant smells. Complimented nicely with the cauliflower rice and green beans, this meal was a hit with my family.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 800 grams oyster blade steak fat trimmed, cut in large chunks
- 2 medium onions thinly sliced
- 4 large carrots sliced
- 1 lemongrass stalk white part only, finely chopped
- ¼ cup Massaman Curry paste
- 1 cup light coconut milk (we used Trident)
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- 700 grams kumara chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 500 grams cauliflower rice steamed, to serve
- 2½ cups steams green beans to serve
- ¼ cup fresh coriander chopped
Instructions
- In a large non-stick frying pan heat half of the oil over high. Cook steak, turning for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a 4.5-litre (18-cup) clow cooker.
- In the same pan, heat remaining oil over medium. Add onion, carrot and lemongrass. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add coconut milk, tomatoes and ½ cup water, and bring to a boil. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Cook, covered, on high 3-4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours) adding kumara in the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Add lime juice to taste.
- Serve curry with cauliflower rice and steamed green beans. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Notes
To Freeze:
At the end of step 3, place curry in containers and set aside to cool completely. Once cool, cover and freeze. Remove from freezer the night before you wish to serve and allow to thaw in fridge. Reheat in saucepan over medium, or microwave until warmed through.
If you don’t have a slow cooker, at the end of the step 2 transfer curry into a large ovenproof casserole dish. Cover and cook at 160°C/320°F for 2 hours, or until beef is tender. The curry can be placed into 6x250ml (1-cup) ovenproof baking dishes and topped with a round and reduced-fat short crust pastry to make pies. Cover and freeze until ready to cook.
TIPS:
- Make it gluten free Check curry paste is gluten free.
- Make it vegan Substitute beef with cubed tofu. Omit step 1. Check Massaman paste is vegan.

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them by taking photos of the meal I produce for myself.
