Here is how to cook a fabulous slow cooker beef curry in a few quick easy steps. Slow cooked beef has so much flavour, you must try this.
Here is a gallery of images from the preparation. Click on one and hopefully a slideshow will begin.
Here’s a short video of my preparation for this slow cooker beef curry. I’m trying to teach myself some skills in video and video editing so if you want to skip this feel free. It’s a slow but interesting process.

I know this will taste better after at least a day’s refrigeration so lunches or dinners will be fabulous. I look forward to leftover meals.

I hope you’ve had a good Monday
I love curry – the hubby, not so much. It therefore ends up being one of those things I order when we’re out, rather than making it at home. It’s too bad, because this looks excellent!
The nice thing about curry I reckon is I can make a reasonably large amount and then freeze aliquots for work lunches. It’s what I’ve been eating the last couple of days at work.
Thanks for the link love Gary!!
My pleasure Bec 😃
Your photos are really good Gary, even though I don’t eat meat, this looks a very good meal.
Thanks Sue. I was pretty happy with it.
It sounds delicious. Cooking the beef by this technique is guaranteed to give you a lovely tender bite of beef. The ginger marmalade is a nice sweet touch.
Since I don’t have a slow cooker/crock pot, I just use my dutch oven and a 300-325 deg F oven. Or the top of the stove if I’m making something else in the oven. 🙂
A Dutch oven is perfect. I like cooking a joint of meat that way.
All your ingredients sounded like they had a great crunch. When did you start doing these videos?
This is my second post with a video portion. Last week I did one and just had music in the background. I want to do more with video. I just have to learn how to edit.
Well done with your video Gary. It’s very hard to film let alone when you have to do it yourself too. I was dying to see a finished shot!
Thanks very much Lorraine. It’s definitely something I want to develop. You’re right doing it alone is a challenge. I’m enjoying spending some time each weekend trying to learn some editing.
