Slow Cooker Beef Curry is easy to prepare, full of your favorite vegetables and tender beef, in the most flavorful curry sauce!
This recipe is by far my favorite curry recipe we make and when I am in the mood this is the recipe I go to. I just wish the photo was better. Let me tell you. This recipe has been on a long list to remake and I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
We have eaten this meal on many occasions and I just never thought to get a better picture! That being said, until I am able to re-shoot one of my original recipes you are just going to have to trust me that this Slow Cooker Beef Curry is delicious and will definitely look better than this photo!
I generally throw in and use the same vegetables, every time we make it although if something needs to get used I never hesitate to throw it in. I would always rather use it than throw it away. Waste makes me crazy.
When I was younger I thought there were kind of rules with recipes but as I have aged I realized that truly anything really goes. There are no rules, carved in stone anywhere, that say something has to be included or not into a recipe.
This wonderful curry can include any vegetables you want in it or need to use. The flavor and the gravy is why you will make it over and over again. That is why I do it!

Recipe Notes
Whenever I have tried to cook a curry in a slow cooker, the taste and heat of the curry gets lost.
How do you prevent this from happening in this recipe?
I find the difference is the amount, type of curry and brand you are using. I have some brands that I will not buy at all anymore. I am familiar with some brands that will not work at all in the slow cooker. We had this issue come up a few years ago and I was told “to spend a little more on the curry and you will have a little better results”. She winked, smiled and put 2 brands on the counter for me to chose from. The statement turned out to be true, in my opinion. I am always looking to save money but there are some things I buy and I just won’t look at the price! This is one of those things. Experiment. I may be able to make further suggestions if you would be comfortable letting me know what part of the world you are in! All the best. Karin
