Step 1

Add potatoes and onion to the slow cooker.

Step 2

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add beef and garlic. Sear until the beef is browned on all sides (about 5-7 min). Transfer beef to the slow cooker, leaving pan drippings.

Step 3

In the same pan, add peanut butter and Massaman curry powder. Stir constantly until the peanut butter is melted and the mixture is smooth (~3-4 min). Pour this into the slow cooker.

Step 4

To the slow cooker, add fish sauce, brown sugar, and beef stock. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 6

Optional thickening method: 30 minutes before serving, mix 1 tbsp cornflour with 2 tbsp cold water, stir until smooth, and add to the curry. Turn the slow cooker to High for the last 30 minutes.

Step 7

Alternatively, uncover and let reduce naturally for the last 30-45 minutes.
