Instructions
- Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large stockpot or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and let it cook undisturbed until the bottom layer develops a deep golden brown sear. Flip the beef and continue searing each side until evenly browned.
- While the beef sears, prep the broth. In the bowl of a large slow cooker, stir together the onion, garlic, beef broth, curry paste, ginger and brown sugar until combined. Add the beef in a single layer on top of the onion mixture and toss so that it is coated on all sides with the broth. Cover and slow cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
- Up to 1 hour before serving, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar together in a mixing bowl until combined. Add the cucumbers and cilantro/mint and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Transfer the beef to a plate and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Add the coconut milk and lime juice to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the shredded beef back in and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Serve. Serve the beef over rice or noodles alongside the cucumber salad, garnished with fresh cilantro, and enjoy!
