Share Recipe Favourite Download PDFBRRRRRRR, it's freezing! Make sure you give this absolutely amazing curry a go when you need to warm up in winter. Literally throw it all into a pot or slow cooker and that’s it. You don’t even have to brown off the beef – winner!You can leave out the chilli to make it kid friendly and use any beef cut that is good for slow cooking (e.g. oyster blade, chuck steak, brisket). Have your butcher cut it into big pieces or do it yourself.Prep time: 20 minutesCook time: 4 hours
