So proud of this meal! Constructed it based off recipes I found online and added my own twists/preferences to it. Not claiming this to be “authentic Thai” more just a creation that is Thai inspired.
For those curious this turned out only medium spicy in my opinion-I added extra sriracha after tasting it. Modify based on your heat preference as needed.
Recipe and instructions below:
1.75 pound beef stew meat
1/2 of 4 ounce can of Maesri brand red curry paste
1 13.5 ounce can of coconut milk
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 medium onion diced into half moon shapes
Combine all the above ingredients in slow cooker, cook on low for 10 hours ( could probably do a little less, this is just what it ended up being all day while I was at work and commuting).
Once I got home I added in 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with a few tablespoons of the juice from the crockpot in a separate bowl, then pour into crock to thicken.
Turn crockpot to high. Add in 1 bag frozen stir fry veggies of your choice. I added in some fresh mushrooms sliced up too. Cook for an additional hour (or less) depending on the texture/softness you like for your veggies.
Serve with steamed rice and garnish with cilantro or Thai basil.
Enjoy 🙂
