Slow Cooker Coconut Beef

Ingredients
1-2 pounds beef stew meat
1 onion, cut into eights
1 (13-15 ounce) can coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger, peeled and minced

Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir well.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.  (I did HIGH for 2 and LOW for 4, since that fit my timeline.) 

2. Stir well and serve over rice. 

Comments
This recipe is from the fantastic Year of Slow Cooking blog.  Lance’s first comment was “the pieces of meat are pretty big” and then he picked one up with a fork and it fell apart.  The meat gets extremely tender during cooking! 

We both definitely enjoyed the flavor of this dish.  I would add more onion next time, perhaps two instead of one.  I also want to figure out what vegetable would go well, either in the crock or on the side.  Everything was tasty regardless and it was very simple to bring together this morning.
