Prep

  1. Cauliflower rice - Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
  2. Onions / Carrots / Turnips / Garlic / Ginger - Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
  3. Chives / Limes - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
  4. Beef - Chop beef into bite-sized pieces. Season with some salt and pepper and tenderize with a fork. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
  5. Potatoes - Prep as directed.
  6. Slow-cook curry - Combine beef, onions, carrots, turnips, garlic, ginger and sweet potatoes in the bowl of a slow-cooker. In a mixing bowl, combine stock, curry powder, tomato paste, aminos, honey, garam masala, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes and pour over the meat and vegetables. Cook curry on low 7 to 8 hours (3 to 4 hours on high). (Note: If you prefer not to use the slow-cooker, you can also brown the beef with some oil in a Dutch oven. Set beef aside and add vegetables to pan. Saute until vegetables begin to soften. Add beef and remaining ingredients - stock to red pepper flakes - to pot. Simmer until vegetables are tender and beef is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.)
