This recipe is the best meal I have cooked in my crockpot. I love Thai flavours and this curry was bursting with them! I like a little heat in my food but my husband does not, so I omitted the chili peppers and I don't use peanut oil so that was left out as well. There was enough heat in the red curry paste to add some zing, but even my husband didn't mind because the taste was so amazing. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. To make sure I got all of the browned bits out of my frying pan, I deglazed it using the beef broth and added that to the pot as well. I would also recommend breaking up the beef once it's cooked to a more "shredded" consistency. That's easy because it's falling apart anyway! That way you can incorporate more of the sauce as you spoon it over the rice. We liked this so much that I have just finished putting all the ingredients in the pot to serve to dinner guests this evening. I was frustrated trying to find a recipe for beef that was not a stew or pot roast. This turned out better than I had expected and will now be my "go to" meal when I want to serve something especially good and a little different. Thank you for the recipe!

Hands-down the BEST slow cooker meal I've ever made! For an even more fragrant dish, I sauteed the onion and garlic in coconut oil and used coconut oil instead of peanut oil in the sauce. I also thickened it at the end with a little corn starch. So delightful - so tender!!

Really really bland made as written. It needed lots of jazzing up with more lime juice, sambal oelek, and salt. I steamed some vegetables and threw them in and that was nice. Would make again but with above additions.

We really really enjoyed this recipe. I did add extra salt from the get go (seasoned the meat) and ended up adding a touch more again after tasting. Also, browned the meat in the oil instead of adding it to the crockpot. After the changes I think it was definitely a 5 to my taste. Next time I might flour the meat to help thicken the sauce (did a slurry at the end this time). Some drizzled sriracha over the top for extra heat!

I followed this recipe exactly except I left out the jalepenos because I was feeding this to my 18 month old. My husband and I love Thai food and eating out, so this recipe seemed great because it was simple. This is nothing like what you'd get at a Thai restaurant. It was pretty bland and not really flavorful at all (I used Thai Kitchen red curry paste). This is more like something my mother-in-law from the midwest would consider an exotic Thai dish. It tasted fine overall and was edible, but I wouldn't call it Thai. This would require major tweaking for me to make again.

This was delicious and easy! I will certainly make it again.

This is so delicious. My household is extremely excited for me to cook this again. I ended up with three pounds of meat, so I adjusted the recipe roughly, mostly by sight, to make sure the meat was covered. I dumped slurry in at the end to thicken it up and we put it over rice. It was amazing. Next time I might try cooking the meat in corn starch as a previous commenter suggested and see if that doesn't thicken it while it cooks so I don't have to add the slurry at the end. I also cooked this on high since I got started late in the morning and didn't have 10 hours to wait for it to be finished on low.

I liked it and my husband and son liked it (more than me), but it didn't taste anything close to Thai food. It was like Irish Stew meets Thailand because it was so stew and meatly like. I would only make it again because my family enjoyed it.

Most fabulous beef teriyaki I've ever had ! I made a number of alterations to the recipe using more simple ingredients I had on hand . It did not take the full amount of time recommended . Only about six hours on though he in the crockpot . I did not add any hot spicy things like jalapeños and I dumped in more brown sugar then was recommended . I dredged the beef in a combination of flour curry and salt and five Chinese spice blend before Browning . My beef teriyaki was plenty thick and super savory . I ended up watering it down significantly to get the right. Consistency . Since I don't have coconut milk I used extra beef broth and a half cup of old shredded coconut I found in my baking cupboard. It seemed the other three reviews mentioned that the flavor was not as strong as they would like and that it was too watery so I added Chinese five spice and a lot of curry powder instead of curry paste because I don't have any curry paste Also I will use lemon juice because I don't have lime. I should add that I had no peanut oil and just used canola. This was so amazing I doubled the recipe and I'm very happy that I did.

Not great, not terrible. The sauce came out much greasier than I expected, even though the beef was of good quality. I also don't think the flavors came together very well and it didn't have that warm, curry and coconut flavor I would have expected. I would suggest adding a light cucumber salad or a raita (sp?) with it to compliment.

I made this in our Ninja Foodi rather than the slow cooker. It worked like a charm and took about 1.5 hours. Meat was so tender. Seasoning was delicious. Served with rice.
05/02/2020
I cooked in coconut oil as recommended by others. Since many stated it was bland I added 2 tsp of Korean chili powder. Turned out nice and Spicy with a great coconut taste.
01/17/2018
I felt something was missing in the flavor. Maybe just needed more of the Thai curry paste and I will try again with red Thai chili peppers instead of jalepeno.
05/16/2020
Did not add peppers, but added cayenne pepper to give it just the amount of heat we prefer.
08/31/2017
I made this as directed (except forgot the basil because we were starving and hurrying) and the whole family loved it: my 2-year old through my picky 13-year old. In fact, everyone had seconds. (That only happens with a handful of favorite meals.) There may be a few tweaks I make next time, just due to preference, but will definitely make again! Would be easy to double or triple and still fit in slow cooker. Served on basmati (our preferred) with edamame on the side and everyone was satisfied.
08/26/2019
It was okay but quite tasteless and I even used more of the flavors than called for. Won't be making this again
11/10/2017
Fantastic recipe. Easy and delicious.
01/23/2020
Lots of potential but bland and disappointing as is. Would try again but will double the curry paste, add at least three extra hot peppers and some fish sauce for depth
12/27/2018
I used venison. I browned the meat with flour.
03/05/2019
AWESOME recipe!!! I added half a red onion, 1.5 green pepper, half a bunch of asparagus and 10 small potatoes. The last 20mins, I added 3/4 cup of water mixed with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
02/19/2019
This is a keeper! I did change some things because I know our taste, so please no nasty comments. I used Spring Onions insteads of diced onions, 3/4 tsp. of Red Curry Paste instead of the 3 Tblsp., 2 Tblsp. brown sugar instead of the 1 Tblsp., and I used Thai Fresh Basil and used a lot less than the 1/2 cup.

Really good and not at all spicy. Everyone in my family loved it. I served it with watermelon
06/03/2020
Yum. Curry is such a great way to get your vegetables in. Had a sweet potato and some broccoli slaw and fennel left over so I tossed them in. Really good. Like the heat/sweet combo.
02/16/2019
Very tasty. Not at all spicy for my taste. Minor changes - substituted for peanut oil. Future changes - will thicken after cooking is completed. And will chop the spinach a bit before adding it.
03/16/2019
An excellent, and easy way to prepare Thai beef. The flavor is pretty true to the cuisine. I changed nothing about the recipe.
02/15/2019
Got away with honey instead of brown sugar, lemon juice instead of lime juice, pork instead of beef, riced cauliflower
02/17/2019
i follwed the instructions as written, except i used my Instant Pot pressure cooker. i sauteed the beef to brown it and then drained it as directed and then sauteed the garlic and onion in the pot. i put everything in the pot and cooked it on the "chili/stew" setting. When it beeped that it was done, i quick released the pressure and threw in the spinach to let it wilt. then i served it over brown rice. my husband loved it but it was so hot he asked me to cut back on the spiciness next time (he did have seconds though!). The beef was so tender; i would make this again in the pressure cooker. It only took about 30 mins to cook.

This turned out really good! As it is, it is not spicy and was a hit with the kids. I made one small adjustment since I used a stainless steel pan for browning. After browning the meat and sautéing the onion and garlic and placing them in the slow cooker, I poured 1 cup beef broth (originally 3/4 c) into the pan to loosen up the brown bits. I poured this into the slow cooker. If you browned in a non-stick pan, it isn't really necessary to do this.

The aroma emanating from my slow cooker all day was about to send us into a frenzy!! It was all we could do to wait for dinner time, but it was SO worth the wait. The beef was so tender and the flavor wonderfully savory. This is a keeper!!
10/01/2019
This was delicious! I am saving this recipe and will definitely make it again!
01/13/2020
This was very tasty, but didn't have enough spices for a strong enough Thai flavor. I'm going to try it again and up the spices.
05/07/2019
Good!
08/28/2017
This is one of my favorite meals! Easy and delicious.
06/10/2017
This was REALLY Good. Browned the meat in seasoned flour, added a bit more beef stock because we like things saucy; but we'll definitely make this again. Considering making it with a different protein, like pork.
02/23/2020
Fantastic recipe first time around, only change i will make next time is adding a few veggies
03/10/2019
Most delicious meal I have made in slow cooker. It was easy to pull together. A family favorite.
12/18/2018
I only used 1/2 jalapeño because of small kids and it was delish. Even husband who doesn't do spinach loved it.
02/18/2019
This recipe was amazing. I only had chicken and tofu on hand (de-boned a rotisserie chicken and fried two packages of tofu cut into triangles in olive oil) I changed the beef broth to chicken and also added 3/4 cup of vegetable broth. I used a full jar of green curry paste and about 2 tablespoons of red curry powder (we like it spicy). Otherwise I followed the rest of the recipe as listed. It came out so flavorful and tender. Next time I'll try the beef. Thanks for a great recipe!!
02/22/2019
Great recipe, and easy to make. Mixed the sauce ingredients after the meat/onion/garlic cooking in a bowl to blend better. Only used one Jalapeno. My 11 yr old liked it with the jasmine rice. He's not a very picky eater but doesn't like spicy food. The family liked it, so it will be going into the rotation. Thanks for putting this recipe online.

I made it using a chuck roast (browned in pan first then added to slow cooker) and then just pulled it apart at the end. The rest was to instruction. It was probably ready in 4 hours, but a chuck roast in the slow cooker can go almost forever. I took out the roast, shredded meat and added back into slow cooker with spinach. Took all of 2 minutes for spinach to wilt/cook a bit and served. The added fat from the roast may have been what made this 5 star (instead of lean stew meat) since the fat added flavor and thickened the sauce a bit.

Delicious

Made the recipe as is and found the dish to be incredibly bland
08/02/2017
My 3 star rating is due to the face that I eliminated half of the ingredients I'm sure. But I wanted to review anyway. We don't like spicy food so I left out the red curry paste and chile peppers. My husband doesn't like spinach so I eliminated that as well along with the coconut milk. However, the dish was still pretty good. My husband had seconds! I didn't care for it much but would try it again adding more of my own spices.
02/28/2020
I made the recipe exactly because I had never used several of the ingredients; thought I would make adjustments next time if we liked it well enough. We loved it as is. The only adjustment I made was to brown the meat and add it to the recipe about 3 hours before serving (hubby thinks meat tastes boiled if added from the start). I'll definitely maker it again. The jasmine rice was perfect with it.
03/06/2020
Very good, great taste. I substituted guajillo chili for jalapeno and used more garlic but that's just my taste. Came out even better on the 2nd day after it had a chance to sit. Had it with a friend with fresh basil leaves and lime and, after we ate it, seriously considered getting up and making it again for dinner.
04/09/2017
We loved this!!! I did as the previous comment and browned the meat with a coating of seasoned flour. I also added 1 Tb. fish sauce and 2 Tb. fresh ginger. This added another dimension to the flavor. So good over rice!!!
02/16/2020
I didn't use the jalepeno peppers and used red pepper flakes in their place. (Someone in my house doesn't like hot stuff.) It was delicious. The beef was very tender. It was a good leftover too!
05/17/2017
This was awesome!! I couldn't use red curry paste because of allergies, but used 3T of a reddish curry powder. And omitted the jalapeno bc my kids won't do spicy. I also floured the beef before Browning and the sauce thickened up nicely. Only took about 3 hours in my slow cooker, so I added a little more broth to keep it from getting too thick.
04/14/2018
We absolutely loved this dish. The only change I would make is maybe add another Tbsp of the red curry paste.
02/11/2018
I made this yesterday and it turned out TERRIFIC. I was short on time, so cooked on high for 2 hours then turned it to low and it delivered in 6 hours as promised! It was not too spicy - Just perfect. Not sure why peanut oil was used, which I made a special trip to get. I used lite coconut milk and also put in 2 additional TBSP brown sugar. I will definitely make this again.
07/21/2020
made this per recipe and while tender, it lacked the spice level our family likes in Thai curries. will try next time with 4 tbsp red curry paste, coconut cream instead of coconut milk and 2 tbs fish sauce.
03/31/2021
i added a splash of fish oil when i added the curry paste/lime etc. i also added salt when i sautéed the onions and garlic in bacon fat. i cooked this dish in a Dutch Oven on the slow cooker setting in the oven. So, I used the same dish that I had seared the beef. I liked that I had the frond from the searing and juices. This was a really delicious curry and we will be making it again. We had it over cauliflower rice and sauteed zucchini but it would yummy over rice or even some pasta .... Also, my husband who enjoys very flavourful and spicey food. This was not bland at all, I just added the fish oil for some umami, and seasoned the beef liberally. Really simple dish with yummy flavour.
01/05/2018
I used Light coconut milk because that's what I had but I think regular coconut milk might have made this taste better to me.
07/11/2017
This was tasty....and not quite as intensely flavorful as I hoped it would be. Maybe my hopes were too high...but it was not spicy at all.
06/08/2019
This was delicious! I did add a little more red curry (just based on other reviewers' suggestions about punching up the flavor), but this dish was already fantastic. Yum!
05/01/2020
This was a very tasty meal. The meat was so tender and the flavours were spicy but not too and hot but not too much just a very nice blend of flavour and texture. I did thicken the dish a little with corn starch only because my husband prefers a little thicker sauce over rice. Not a fan of rice. I would definitely make this again. I did make my own red curry paste because I didn't have any and that was also a nice surprise. The only thing I didn't have on hand was the shrimp paste. Will look for that when I can get out to a store.
02/23/2019
Great meal. Easy to make. I added some Szechwan sauce to spice it up
02/21/2019
Delicious! Easy to follow recipe, easy to make. It was very good - will definitely make again!
