I tried a new recipe tonight from a slow cooker cookbook called Slow Cooker Favorites that we picked up on sale at Costco — curried beef. Basically it's stewing beef, salt, pepper, flour, curry powder, paprika, onions, garlic, onion powder, basil, sugar, and tomato sauce. To make it more stew-like, I added some small potatoes and mushrooms, but skipped the carrots and celery in deference to family members' food sensitivities. I cooked it on low for eight hours, per the cookbook instructions, which might have been a little much as some of the meat was beginning to dry out. Seven hours would probably be better.
It was delicious and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I think the next time, I will brown the beef first, although the recipe didn't call for that, and it's fine without it.
If you look online, there are many variations of this. Some use coconut milk instead of tomato sauce; others use more spices for extra heat.
