Slow Cooker Thai Red Curry Beef
A great slow cooker version of an very flavorful Thai beef dish.
I adore Asian dishes, they are ultimately one of those that you can experience an explosion of amazing flavors. And to name a few, we just can't get enough, of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean and even Filipino dishes.
Now beef is one of my many challenges coz of how rubbery it becomes if not cooked properly, and thankfully the slow cooker makes this problem go away. So, if you are up for an amazing beef Asian dish, then you should definitely try this recipe.
Check out the recipe below.

Also, if you are a fan of spicy dishes, feel free to add more jalapeños to the recipe. But if you or any of your guests or relatives are not really fond of spices dishes, then just lessen the jalapeños or even take it out.
